Regardless of which company comes out ahead, the Dutch are bound to gain. Some of the gas will be used to fuel new aluminum and ammonia industries in The Netherlands, and about 15 billion cubic meters will be exported yearly to prop a narrowly unfavorable balance of trade. Gas will also replace the country's meager supply of coal as consumer fuel. As a result of the finds, gas prices for Dutch householders are to be lowered 25% next month...
...Gulf intends to acquire Kansas City's young and spunky Spencer Chemical Co., which last year earned $6,500,000 on sales of $106 million. Gulf, whose cashbox is bulging from oil gushers in Kuwait, was moved by the same considerations that drew its competitors to fertilizer companies. Ammonia from crude oil is a key ingredient in fertilizers, and Spencer has been buying a lot of it from Gulf. U.S. fertilizer sales have been growing 10% a year, as farmers pour on more of it to coax higher output from their Government-limited acreage allotments. Meanwhile, the oilmen have...

...tube, less adenine was formed, and he concluded that life could not have developed on earth until most of the free hydrogen in the earth's primitive atmosphere had escaped into space. Only then could adenine and similar chemicals have been made out of methane, ammonia and water. Gradually, those chemicals accumulated in the ocean where the first life appeared, and at last they formed nucleic acid, life's key substance...
...University of California's Lawrence Radiation Laboratory set up a small-scale replica of the prebiotic, pre-life earth. Their model did not look much like the earth; it was only a glass tube dressed up with valves and various bulges. But it contained a mixture of methane, ammonia and water to simulate the earth's atmosphere before the start of life, and it was built so that a beam of high-energy electrons could be shot through the tube. The electrons represented the cosmic rays that scientists believe assailed the primitive atmosphere...
