...waste can be burned far out at sea by incinerator ships, researchers elsewhere are trying to find a ready market for garbage compost. Since transportation accounts for 70% of the cost of waste disposal, another team is studying the possibility of using pipelines connected directly to household chutes to convey garbage-much as coal slurry is now carried-to distant incinerators...
...Washington Post News Service, Columnists Walter Lippmann, Evans and Novak, Art Buchwald-and even right-wing William Buckley Jr. "The New York Post," explained a disclaimer, "recognizing its altered role as the only afternoon newspaper in New York, believes that it is a part of its journalistic duty to convey some expression of viewpoints different from its own."
