...result, automakers will have to reduce engine horsepower, and gasoline will cost more (see BUSINESS). But the rules will reduce the toxic substances that autos now spew into the U.S. air each year-notably 350 million pounds of lead, 12 million tons of hydrocarbons and 66 milion tons of carbon monoxide...
...quote Population Biologist Dr. Paul R. Ehrlich: "Too many cars, too many factories, too much detergent, too much pesticide, multiplying contrails, inadequate sewage-treatment plants, too little water, too much carbon dioxide-all can be traced easily to too many people." The Government must initiate stringent birth control measures through education about contraception methods, through liberal abortion laws and through high luxury taxes on any more than two children...
...evening's naturalist was Sally Eaton. The words, "Welcome, sulfur dioxide. Hello, carbon monoxide. The air, the air is everywhere" emerge in Air with the freshness of a girl totally removed from the polluted world of New York City, Miss Eaton plays an innocent girl with a giant stomach. She wins the sympathy of every mother and father in the house as she tells them of the boy she loves, and the speed freak who knocked...
Using radioactive dating methods based on the decay of the isotope carbon 14, scientists have estimated the seeds to be as much as 11,700 years old; the same tests on ancient grain samples found in the Middle East or Latin America show that none are more than 9,500 years old. Thus, says the director of the University of Hawaii expedition. Anthropologist Wilhelm G. Solheim II. Thailand's ancient inhabitants may well have been the world's first farmers...
Early Rice. Other scientists suggest that agriculture developed more or less simultaneously in widely separated regions of the world. Carbon-14 dating techniques, they note, can easily be off by as much as 1,000 years. But Solheim's claim is at least indirectly supported by other evidence of Southeast Asia's prehistoric culture. At the historic Thai village of Non Nok Tha, another University of Hawaii archaeological team has discovered a 3,500-year-old metal ax with a socket for a handle. The unusual implement may show that Thailand's ancient people were able...
