Grace, Monsanto, Allied and Du Pont. Since few farmers still rely on the less effective animal fertilizers, many meat packers-including Armour and Swift -have kept up with the times by diversifying into chemical fertilizers. Lately, half a dozen U.S. oil companies-among them, Gulf, Socony Mobil, Cities Service and Kerr-McGee-have come into the business in a big way by buying up smaller fertilizer companies as marketing arms for petrochemical...
What if Swift and Armour were to give up packing meat and start selling block-frozen string -beans instead? What if Goodyear and Firestone were to stop producing bulging pneumatic rotundities that tread softly and squeal raffishly?

His rooms atop the Marine Biological Laboratory building on Main Street began to overflow with centrifuges used to extract submicroscopic quantities of promine and retine. More recently, Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi and his colleagues, Dr. Andrew Hegyeli and Jane A. McLaughlin, have found a cheaper and more abundant source: human urine. So, at nearby Otis Air Force Base, six latrines have special urinals, which yield from 60 to 100 liters a day for Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi's research...
