Excerpts appeared in The Times newspaper this week. Here's His Royal Highness on horses: “The horse is a great level: ler and anyone who is con- cerned about his dignity would be well advised to keep away from horses. Apart from many other em- barrassments there is, for in- stance, no more ridiculous sight than a horse perform- ing its natural functions with someone in full-dress uniform mounted on its back. “A horse which stops dead just before a jump and thus propels its rider into a grace- ful are provides a splendid excuse for general merri- ment. It has happened to me, but the horse rubbed the joke in by sailing over the jump and me as I lay partly in a ditch on the other side.” On freedom of speech: “We pride ourselves on having got rid of what are called Victorian taboos but all that means in practice is that some people can indulge their taste for adolescent pornog- raphy in public without being criticized. In fact the taboo is now on the other foot —as it were.

The French wine is $14.95 a bottle here, down nearly $10 from the liquor store price when former consumer affairs minister Peter Hynd- man treated some dinner guests with the choice dry white at public expense ($37.50 a bottle in a res- taurant) in 1962. The Pouilly is one of many wine bargains available as prices drop because of huge wine surpluses in Europe and California. . Most of the good buys are for people who like the medium to _ higher-priced wines, says Anthony von Mandl of Mark Anthony Wine Merchants Ltd. But some middle-priced wines are low-priced and will stay low at least until fail. Von Mandi said his com- pany brought in 300 cases of a white Cote du Rhone by Mommesin in December, ex- pecting the supply would last three months, The bottles were priced at $5.75, and the wine sold out in January. The wine was previously listed in this privnce at $7.50 a bottle. For aniy information leading to a h- YEAROUD MALE block ond Ye jock on SHEPHERD aver our dog back at home.

General Electric has 26 of its reactors operating in the United States. “The service part of our business has definitely increased in the last five years,” says John Ryan, a ke: for Ci i which has 11 of about 100 plans-for new sites have been lied, says Don Winston, a spokesman for the nuclear industry's Atomic Industries Forum. HAS BRIGHT SPOT But there is a bright spot in the gloom for some. “As long as those plants are operating, my companies are going to do very well, says one analyst, who requested anonymity. He was referring to the giants of thé industry — Westinghouse, General Electric and Combustion Engineering. “They've been able to build up a great business making the transition from equipment to services,” he says. “As long as those plants are operating, they're going to break down and need servicing.” Servicing nuclear plants includes making the fuel, reloading the plants with it, inspecting and repairing generators, operator training, waste disposal and decon- a hutd 4 HAS BUILT MOST Westinghouse, which has built most of the world’s nuclear plants, seems to be in the best position for service business profits, as most owners of nuclear plants tend to seek services from the company that built the plants. Westinghouse has built 63 of the 148 reactors in the United States. Its service business helped push its nuclear sales to $1 billion in 1983, a company spokesman said. The service portion comprises about 40 per cent of Westinghouse’s total nuclear revenues. Meanwhile, sales of nuclear equipment have slipped to 25 per cent from 50 per cent of nuclear revenues. sp its nuclear reactors operating in the United States. While the service-related business has provided a fallback position for the nuclear divisions of some companies, it is only a morsel of the huge pie they had hoped to share. Ten years ago there was talk of 240 to 250 nuclear plants in the United States, but now estimates have been cut by about 100, says Winston. ARABS DID IT Analysts and industry spokesman agree the Arab oil embargo of 1973 was the catalyst for sending the nuclear reactor business into a tailspin. The embargo led to a cut in energy consumption “much more quickly than planned,” said one analyst. The embargo fuelled the 1970s recession, which sent the cost of borrowing money to build the billion-dollar plants skyrocketing. When energy use dropped, many utility companies delayed construction on their plants. “They thought they would be slowing down on an eight-per-cent interest rates and not 18 per cent,” says Winston. The cost of money on today’s typical $1.2-billion plant has risen so that “each additional day it takes to build a plant in effeet comes to about $500,000 to $1 million dollars,” says Westinghouse spokesman John Burke. Another big factor in the decline of building nuclear plants was the public's general distrust of plant safety. In addition, many regulations have been changed, obligating plant operators to implement them even though their plants may have been build under different rules. ‘note, the illustrations for Mushrooms, Oven Crock Beans and Nature's Vol Light and Crunchy Snacks were incorrect.
