1) For years, we have been referring to ANTI-Business Week; and we are no longer alone. See "An Anti-Business Business Magazine," by S. Lagerfeld, Policy Review, Summer 1981. (This is the issue mentioned under our editorial, also containing an article by T. Sowell, the brilliant author of Knowledge and Decisions, and other goodies) $3.50 from Heritage Foundation, 513 C St,/N.E., Washington, DC 20002.
2) John Semmens, "The Seen Vs. the Unseen: A Modern Example," The Freeman, FEE, Irvington-on-Hudson, NY 10533, is a short reflection on the 55 mph speed limit. The title hints at one of Frederic Bastiat's essays, whose selected works are available from the same address, when you read a topical, up-to-date essay like The Law ($1.50), you may be stunned by the on date: June 1850.
3) WE Magazine is an unusually well done magazine by a utility issue is on coal, preceding was on nuclear. Limited number of copies available to AtE readers, free from Wisconsin Electric, 231 W. Michigan, Box 2046, Milwaukee, WI 53201.

¾and in less sunny places. For price and availability write NOAA/D822, US Dept. of Commerce, 6009 Executive Blvd., Rockville, MD 20852.5) Facts About Low-Level Radiation is a truly outstanding little booklet published jointly in the spring of this year by the World Health Organization and the International Atomic Energy Agency, dealing with the accepted health hazards of low-level radiation and the contentions of Stewart, Mancuso, Najarian and others. Written for laymen. Only 18 pages, but very good figures making it clear how trivial the "controversy" is $1 (we believe) from IAEA Publ. Dept., PO Box 100, A-1400 Vienna, Austria.
6) Licensed to Serve: A Citizen's Guide to the Regulation of the Broadcasting Media is an interesting booklet on the Fairness Doctrine, possible redress, and allied subjects; from American Legal Foundation, 1612 K Street NW, Washington, DC 20006; contributions welcome.
7) Letters to the Editor get published when they are short, short, SHORT! Like this one in the New York Daily News: "What's all the fuss about the Israeli raid which knocked out an Iraqui nuclear reactor? Environmentalists have been knocking out our reactors for years and no one has called for sanctions against them. -- Frank Fusco, Poughkeepsie."

9) Prof. Fremlin: The Plutonium Economy: Terrorism and Proliferation still available from us for a stamped, self-addressed envelope. (Some of them, correctly addressed by the recipient, came back stamped Not deliverable as addressed, perhaps because they were handwritten, and thus too sophisticated for the illiterate computer addicts of the US Snail.)
