  **** Exerpts from the U.S. Congress Office of Technology Assment report on
TPX and Alternate Concepts.
  **** Edge transport and turbulence studies on U-3M
  The turbulent-driven particle flow is shown to be comparable with the
equilibrium flow at the boundary of the configuration under Alfven-heating
conditions in the U-3M torsatron.
  **** Topological aspects of island divertor studies on W7-AS
  The structure of the edge plasma in W7-AS, observed with probes, television
camera, and H-alpha light agrees at low beta with vacuum field calculations:
the low-valued resonances at iotabar=5/m are resolved for m = 8 to 11; external
perturbations are not significant at the edge, even for iotabar = 5/10.
  **** 140-GHz second harmonic O-mode electron cyclotron heating at W7-AS
  First experimental results are presented of 140-GHz second harmonic O-mode
(0.7-MW power) ECRH at a high electron density of 1.8 x 10^20 m^-3 on W7-AS.
  **** Equilibrium plasma currents in quasi-symmetric stellarators with a
helical magnetic axis
  The plasma currents in quasi-symmetric stellarators are calculated to determe
the quasi-symmetric conditions with the help of analytical equations.
