...carbon dioxide would be released into the atmosphere of a covered garden to sustain green algae living in a tank of water. The rapidly reproducing algae would not only be an excellent source of protein for humans on the moon but would also produce vitally needed oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis...
Warhol's movies used to be "underground," but most of them are now shown in theaters and seriously reviewed. The distinction between "underground" cinema, straight commercial films and "sexploitation" movies is no longer easily made. The screen's crassest byproduct, variations of the old stag film or skin flick, draw more customers in some cities than the hard-ticket Hollywood product. Ranging from 20 minutes of nudie shorts to the sophisticated voyeurism of Directors Russ Meyer (Vixen) and Radley Metzger (The Dirty Girls), sex films are now a multimillion-dollar-a-year industry. Exhibited in well-appointed cinemas that charge...
MOST of the speculative money that flooded into West Germany last week came from a volatile and increasingly powerful segment of the world's financial apparatus: the Eurodollar market.

The pool was organized in the late 1950s by London bankers who sensed that if they could marshal the billions of dollars already overseas, they could lend them out at a substantial profit. Business has been brisk ever since...
...ORBITING LABORATORIES. A byproduct of the billions spent on Apollo is the hardware to send three missions, beginning in late 1971, to a manned space laboratory in orbit some 200 miles above the earth. Saturn 4B rockets will spend their fuel and then serve as bungalow-size space stations for three-man crews. The first will include a doctor, who will study the effects on himself and his companions of 28 days under zero gravity. The crew will also try to learn how vacuum and weightlessness affect certain manufacturing processes. These include electron beam welding and the use of molten...
...examine their faith in the light of the 20th century. For the first time in centuries, representatives of the two major Moslem sects - the Shiite and Sunnite - held a formal dialogue on their doctrine. To their surprise, they found themselves more in accord than apart. One immediate byproduct of this harmony was a resolution to meet again and form an international Islamic research center...
