The bubbles soon collapse, and the detergent collects in a small amount of liquid that is easily treated and disposed of. It can be dumped...

While Rhodes remained aloof from the state G.O.P. organization, he nursed his personal public relations, turned a room next to his private office into a statehouse reporters...
...budgets seems likely to continue. Contributing to that trend, along with the flow of consumer advertising, are the industrial and institutional campaigns. This year U.S. business, mostly in the fields of construction and heavy manufacturing, will invest close to $600 million in fact-crammed industrial ads intended to attract the eyes of purchasing agents and establish a company's reputation so that it will be invited to supply talent and material and to bid on jobs.
