Judging by the events thus far, the aftermath of the incident at Three
Mile Island may be more harrowing than the accident itself. Congress apparently
is going to conduct a full-scale investigation into causes and effects
of the accident. And it should. Bit it is likely to bring forth more heat
than light. Judging by statements by leading TV actors in both House and
Senate, the investigation may be used to remove possibility of blame from
Congress itself. That kind of investigation will not serve the public interest |
Fit kids
are less likely to be lonely
by Mike Snider USA TODAY
Kids who are more fit and physically active may be less lonely, a new
study suggests.
Shy kids may withdraw from physical activity, such as group play, says
researcher Randy M. page, University of Idaho. He and others gave 601 Idaho
first-through sixth-graders fitness test and had them fill out questionnaires.
The results show that after third grade, the least lonely were more
active and fit than average; the most lonely, less active and fit. Details,
in the April Journal of Teaching in Physical Education,
show the least lonely. |
