1.) Yes, Free Market Energy, ed. F.S. Singer [AtE Oct 84], is available as a paperback for $8.95, but from Publications Dept., Heritage Foundation, 513 C St., Washington, DC 20002; Universe Books sells only the hardback for 19.95. Most emphatically recommended to all readers for the reasons given in the October issue.
2.) "Anti-nuke crowd has boosted costs" by R.J. Isaac, Washington Times, 9/12/84, exposes the sabotage by the Government Accountability Project aided by ignorant judges, and is the type of article that is sadly missing from the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, where much space is given to insignificant or unfounded stories about diseconomies due to government support (so true of synfuels and solar), parroted after Institute-of-Policy-Studies sources. It is to be hoped the article will be reprinted by the AIF
¾we will keep you informed.3.) For a longer review of the losses inflicted on nuclear power by the Government Accountability Project and other radical sabotage groups, see "Taking GAP's Measure" by J.R. Wargo, Nuclear Industry, June 84 (reprint free from Publ. Dpt., AIF, 7101 Wisconsin Ave., Bethesda, MD 20814); add to this the judicial and legislative persecution plus the hysteria fanned by the media, and then read the discourses, some by conservatives, why nuclear power is uneconomical and cannot make it in a free market. (Surprisingly, it is only this year that its costs per kWh have caught up with coal
¾in the US; in most of Western Europe, they remain about half of coal-fired power.)4.) An excellent series of six brief essays "How will the recession end?" by Eugene Guccione, published between Dec. 83 and May 84 in Coal Mining and Processing is available to AtE subscribers for a SASE (37 cents stamp, please) from E. Guccione, Coal Mining, 300 W. Adams St., Chicago, IL 60606.
5.) The Wilderness Issue. How much is enough? How much is excess? by the ever readable geologist Dr James R. Dunn is available free (but contributions are welcome) from the Ntl. Council of Envir. Balance, Box 7732, Louisville, KY 40207.
6.) James Watt and the Steam Engine by E. Robinson and A.E. Musson (1969) is a collection of documents that is not suited for reading from beginning to end, but gives pleasure to own. The oversized, hardbound, 230-page, illustrated book also makes a good gift: no one will guess that you paid only $9.95 (plus $2.50 P&H) to Scholar's Bookshelf, 51 Everett Dr., Princeton, NJ 08850 (sale ends Dec. 31).
7.) And another bargain: The First Guide to Prisons and Concentration Camps of the Soviet Union (Bantam 1982) by Avram Shifrin, who languished in many of them, is going out of print; remainder copies $2.49 postpaid from University Bookstore, Dept. 61, 4326 University Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105.
8.) C.E. Harris, Jr., "Capitalism and Social Justice," Collegiate
Review, Spring/Summer 1984 (14 S. Bryn Mawr Ave., Bryn Mawr, PA 19010).
9.) M.C. Jensen, Corporate Control: Folklore vs. Science, another excellent yellow IIER booklet, $1.25 from Northstar Prtg. & Mlg., 700 S. Xenia Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55416.
10.) Ben Bova, Assured Survival - Putting the Star Wars Defense in Perspective, $15.95 postpaid from same address as Shifrin's book above.
11.) Defense Education is a new newsletter devoted to educating the public about the necessity of defense, well worth $10/year (more gladly accepted). E.G. Ross, 1633 Best Lane, Eugene, OR 97405. Also always interesting are the debates in American Defense, if you can stomach the letters by freaks who are all for liberty, provided somebody else defends it for them ($10; LDC, Box 1064, Colton, CA 92324).
12.) Media Mischief and Misdeeds by Reed Irvine, the incomparable engine of Accuracy in Media (AINU, reg. $9.95, discounted with a subscription to the AIM Report, 1275 K St. NW/# 1150, Washington, DC 20005.
13.) "America is totally vulnerable and unable to defend herself from nuclear attack. If we are ever attacked, our only defense will be to retaliate. Even if the attack is accidental." So says Gen. D.O. Graham in an enlightening briefing booklet available from High Frontier, 1010 Vermont Ave, NW/#1000, Washington, DC 2005 (contributions very welcome).
