...White House deemed excessive. Nixon has addressed some generalized pleas to labor and management, but he has not defined his guidelines. Neither he nor his advisers have publicly criticized any specific pay or price rises. Last week, for example, steel and gasoline prices were increased, and the price of copper rose for the sixth time in 15 months-yet the White House remained silent. The President said nothing about labor's rising wage demands and threats of nationwide strikes...
...dinitrate (EGDN), one of the principal components of emissions given off by dynamite. With the aid of a small internal fan, the detector samples air in the vicinity of a suspect object and passes the vapors over a modern equivalent of Tsvett's limestone-a rough gold-plated copper surface that has a special affinity for EGDN. As the molecules adhere to it, their concentration increases. The special surface is then heated to 176° to 194° F., causing it to release its cargo of molecules. Conveyed by an inert gas, argon, into a tube made of pure...

Two of the three candidates in the current presidential campaign call for nationalizing the copper companies completely. Gradual nationalization has also been applied to the U.S.-owned Chilean Power Co., and the state expects to take over 44% of International Telephone & Telegraph's phone subsidiary...
...spraying operation: to preserve precious water for people by killing water-consuming vegetation. Unfortunately, instead of being mixed with diesel oil, the defoliants were mistakenly applied with water, which quickly evaporates in the arid area. As a result, they were especially toxic. Worse, the helicopter strayed over the copper-mining town of Globe (pop. 6,000), the far outskirts of which were soon covered with a fine white mist...
Mark Taper Forum, the play is perhaps best betrayed by description. Acting on behalf of the stockholders of the copper-rich Union Miniere du Haut-Katanga, the U.S. pressures the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Dag Hammarskjold (George Voskovec), to accede to the murder of the Congolese leader, Patrice Lumumba (Louis Gossett). At the very least, this proposition proves that a sovereign contempt for the playgoers' intelligence is not confined to Broadway...
