Shaun McRae of the University of Michigan reviews “The Economics of Electricity Markets: Theory and Policy”, by Pippo Ranci and Guido Cervigni. The Econlit abstract of this book begins: “Six papers address the main issues that arise when competition is introduced into the electricity industry. Papers discuss wholesale electricity markets (Guido Cervigni and Dmitri Perekhodtsev); generation capacity adequacy (Cervigni, Andrea Commisso, and Perekhodtsev); congestion management and transmission rights (Perekhodtsev and Cervigni); competition policy in the electricity industry (Cervigni and Perekhodtsev); retail competition (Anna Creti and Clara Poletti); and climate change and the future of the liberalized electricity markets (Cervigni). Ranci is Professor of Economic Policy at the Catholic University of Milan and Chair of the Board of Appeal of the European Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators. Cervigni is Research Director at the Center for Research on Energy and Environmental Economics and Policy at Bocconi University and Chief Economist at A2A S.p.A. Index.”

During the past several years, a systematic search for novae in the Magellanic Clouds has been carried out at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. The Curtis Schmidt telescope, on loan to CTIO from the University of Michigan is used to obtain plates every two weeks during the observing season. An objective prism is used on the telescope. This provides additional low-dispersion spectroscopic information when a nova is discovered. The plates cover an area of 5°x5°. One plate is sufficient to cover the Small Magellanic Cloud and four are taken of the Large Magellanic Cloud with an overlap so that the central bar is included on each plate. The methods used in the search have been described by Graham and Araya (1971). In the CTIO survey, 8 novae have been discovered in the Large Cloud but none in the Small Cloud. The survey was not carried out in 1974 or 1976. During 1974, one nova was discovered in the Small Cloud by MacConnell and Sanduleak (1974).

Hendrik Draye, opponent of the carrying out of the death penaltyIn this annotated and extensively contextualised source edition, Luc Vandeweyer deals with the period of repression after the Second World War. In June 1948, after the execution of two hundred collaboration-suspects in Belgium, the relatively young linguistics professor at the Catholic University of Leuven, Hendrik Draye, proposed, on humanitarian grounds, a Manifesto against the carrying out of the death penalty. Some colleagues, as well as some influential personalities outside the university, reacted positively; some colleagues were rather hesitant; most of them rejected the text. In the end, the initiative foundered because of the emphatic dissuasion by the head of university, who wanted to protect his university and, arguably, the young professor Draeye. The general public’s demand for revenge had not yet abated by then; moreover, the unstable government at that time planned a reorientation of the penal policy, which made a polarization undesirable. Nevertheless, Luc Vandeweyer concludes, "the opportunity for an important debate on the subject had been missed".
