Sure enough, Dr. Kunz was able to grow S. cubana from the dye capsules. Mass General notified state and federal health authorities and substituted a black carbon marker for carmine red as an intestinal tracer. Cases of cubana salmonellosis in three other states were traced to carmine red, and supplies were called in. So far, so good. But authorities have been checking other places for carmine red, knowing that it is a favorite coloring in candy, chewing gum, ice cream, cough syrups and drugs. Manufacturers like to use it because of a legal quirk: being a natural rather than...
...test their theory, Rocket Research scientists mixed together appropriate portions of human feces, hair and nail clippings, paper towels, sponges, detergent, and the carbon that is produced by spacecraft atmospheric-regeneration systems (because it will probably be recycled for drinking water, urine was not included). They then blended their repulsive mixture with powdered metal and a solid oxidizer, producing a black, slimy, globlike but surprisingly odorless substance that was dignified with the name MONEX W. Ground-tested in a rocket engine, it ignited quickly, burned smoothly with a bright orange flame, and produced ample thrust. The successful demonstration has just...
...that mike in a standard telephone, it operates indefinitely on the phone's own current and transmits both sides of any telephone conversation to a special receiver as far as 400 ft. away. Continental also offers a 4-in. dart transmitter that can be fired from a carbon-dioxide-powered dart gun into an area otherwise inaccessible to the bugger.

The letter's contents have not been made public, but the New York Daily News's perceptive Washington columnist, Ted Lewis, quoting "hearsay" reports, said that it criticized the "extremist" tone of Goldwater's campaign and the ultra-conservative planks written into...
...Westerly winds, which normally whisk away 'the 17.6 million lbs. of pollutants that New York City alone spews into the air each day, were nowhere to be found. By Thanksgiving, despite the holiday inactivity, New York's pollution reached five times its normal level of noxious carbon monoxide from cars, soot and fly ash from chimneys and potentially deadly sulphur dioxide from soft fuel oil and coal fires...
