Thinking is slowed, and the ability to carry on social or economic functions is impaired. A defect m memory is the main problem Meanwhile, friends notice that the victim has difficulty in talking, and naming objects (seen or felt), or he begins to repeat words. Despite treatment the condition becomes progressively worse. Two varieties of the disease have been described. Some of the victims develop apathy, loss of spontaneity, mutism, and immobility. Others are restless and overactive. Regardless of the way the victim reacts, the time comes wher intellectual activity ceases and the man or woman becomes mute and reduced to a vegetative existence. He begins to look and act iMer with an expressionless face and a slow shuffling gait. All of this takes place within 4 to 10 years. The symptoms of prcsemle dementia are the same as ordinary dementia due to hardening of the arteries. The difference is m the earlier onset.

Linford - On the eve of LIVERMORE, Calif. 1914 there is still much groping about the energy crisis. But there is promise that man not only w ill cope with the emergency but in the long run will benefit from it. shortage of wood, the predominant fuel, led to the Industrial Revolution some 400 years ago. Coal was reluctantly put into greater use and a multiplicity of A innovations resulted. Now petroleum and natural gas which have been so available, clean and relatively cheap that other sources of energy have been tragically neglected, are running short. And coal which exists in almost unlimited quantities in more is sure to be involved in than 30 states a new industrial revolution Solar Energy Promising Nuclear energy, which is being developed at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory of the University of California in Livermore and at other sites, remains a quest on mark for many complex reasons. More promising perhaps for heating buildings, especially in the sunny Western states, is solar energy, and that other sleeping giant, geothermal power, seems to be awakening. The Interior Department will sell leases Jan. 22 on three areas in California for development of underground steam. This source of power is already being tapped in California and other parts of the U.S. for production of electricity and to heat buildings. The Atomic Energy Commission has given its first grant to the University of California for basic research in geothermal energy. Geothermal steam is also found in Utah. This is not, of course, an accurate analogy, but the Arabs don't see it that Neither do other many way. underdeveloped nations who have been selling essential raw materials to the West, usually at prices controlled by the advanced nations of the world.

It is likely that the direction being taken by the students will lead to a very great frustration. To lead the fight for impeachment from the streets both plays into Mr. Nixons hands tactically, and reinforces, strategically, the opposition to impeachment. Precisely what will stiffen the resistance to impeachment is mob action. Mob action can, of course, accomplish political eructations. When after the war the majority of ' ri castrated executive will stiffen thei. opposition to Nixon's impeachment precisely as the pressure for it comes from, or seems to come ilrom, the hot blood of American college students, etiolated by campus liberalisr. will probably impeachment. quit Far From Crisis are somewhere, at this mo- ment, not very far from such a crisis: i.e., a crisis which causes the people to feel that the country would be a lot better off with the President gone.

Much more of the kind of thing that is happening in the stock market will cause a truly dangerous cituation the denial of risk capital for small business ventures, just as an example.

Again, most people in this country would undoubtedly say yes, and here is just the problem. For if it is the policy of the United States to deny its commerce to Cuba because Cuba is taking hostile attitudes towards the United States, how are we to persuade the Arabs that it is wrong to embargo oil to the United States, whose arms shipments to Israel are regarded as hostile to the interests of the Arabs? the past are peace agreement was signed.
