Whatever Happened to the Search for Life in Space?

Article Abstract:

Attempts to find traces of intelligence outside of the solar system might detect civilization by electromagnetic effluent or from beacons deliberately sent out. A multichannel spectral analyzer (MCSA) with ten million channels will eventually be installed at Arecibo, Puerto Rico. A search of sunlike stars out to the classification limits must begin.

Whatever Happened to Energy Parks?

Article Abstract:

Nuclear energy centers, or parks, would have consisted of ten or more 1200-megawatt nuclear power plants all in one sparsely populated area. Though Japan and Canada are building them, the plans for such plants were laid aside when United States demand for electricity fell. A diagram illustrates a hypothetical nuclear energy center.
