After having discharged 67,000 tons of wastes into the lake at Silver Bay every day since 1968, the company has been ordered by U.S. District Judge Edward Devitt to stop the dumping by midnight next July...
...communities; it held that the plant could be ordered closed if the state and the company did not agree on an acceptable alternative. Reserve, which is jointly owned by Republic Steel and Armco Steel, said that it could develop a dumping site at a location three miles from Silver Bay.

It rejected the site and recommended a location 13 miles further from the plant. The company said the second site would be too costly. Faced...

The USDA alone, for example, will spend $48 million on insect control research this year. It will be money well spent, essential for keeping the insects at bay. Even as manufacturers begin producing some of the new biological controls, there are ominous signs that the ever adaptable insect may be adjusting to man's latest weapons against them. California's Georghiou has found, in laboratory tests, that after 15 generations both houseflies and mosquitoes develop resistance to juvenile...

The other is the Christian Science Center, which consists of starkly sculptural buildings grouped around Mary Baker Eddy's domed Beaux-Arts Mother Church. Both projects are especially noteworthy for their careful blending...
