COVER

Nuclear power, which not long ago symbolized swords beaten into plowshares and cheap energy to boot, is beset by troubles. In this issue John Kemeny discusses the investigation of the accident at Three Mile Island. Worry over nuclear safety stems partly from what went before, and accompanying accounts describe the effects of certain events of 1945 and 1946. Cover design by Kate Emlen.
