In their latest incarnation, ultrasonic waves are being put to work in a novel sewage-treatment system...

Under a cartoon showing Uncle Sam and a small boy strolling through a smudged wasteland, Wright placed the caption: "Well, our spacious skies got dirty when we cut back on clean air standards and we sold the amber waves of grain to other countries.
