ENERGY Nuclear Power: A Ct;ise of Indecent Exposure, John Berger, 9 pp., WIN magazine, June 22., 1978, 40¢Jssue, $15/year from: 503-Atlanti'c Ave., 5th floor Bro_oklyn, NY 11217 Indecent, indeed! This article by the author of Nuclear Powe.r: the Unviable Option is based on a speech delivered at an April educational forum organized by the Crabshell Alliance. It is one of the clearest, to-the-point discussions I have seen of the myriad problems attached to .nuclear power genera.tion, and an excellent persuasion piece t<;> hand to your baffled acquair.::ances who still cling to th(: myths of "clean" nuclear energy or electricity "too cheap to meter." Th~ discussions of the health hazards attributable to low-level radio.- activity are particularly startling. Economic arguments may have the most political clout, but the health factor is an iceberg just starting to surface. -SA The Energy Showh $2.75 fromi The New Western Energy Show 226 Power Block Heiena, MT 59601 Here it is, f9lks, the script and musi'c for one of the several shows put on by the razzle-dazzle troupe touring Montana (and a few other places where you might be lucky enough to see them).
