Scientists at the Sandia Corp. in Albuquerque, where nuclear weapons are designed and assembled, have a passion for cleanliness. They have to. As weapons components are made smaller and still smaller, the presence of a single particle of dust can make larger and still larger trouble. The strictest housekeeper in all Sandia is Texas-born Physicist Willis J. Whitfield, creator of the Whitfield Ultra-Clean Room. "I thought about dust particles," he says with a slight drawl. "Where are these rascals generated? Where do they go?" Once he answered his own questions Physicist Whitfield decided that conventional industrial clean rooms...
David Jordan (Richard Kiley) is an expatriate ''Europe bum,'' a permanent house and party guest on the Paris-Monte Carlo-St. Tropez axis. He once wrote a Pulitzer Prizewinning novel and now has trouble whisking the dust off his typewriter. Barbara Woodruff (Diahann Carroll), tall and graceful as a flamingo, has taken a long-legged step from a Harlem fire escape to a high-fashion perch as the best-paid model in Paris. Her philosophy: "I just want money, and then some money, and loads of lovely love...
...must either be artificially dried or the presses must be slowed to give the ink time to dry. For years, the fastest web offset presses ran at about one-third the speed of the fastest letter-presses. The tackier offset ink. together with the rubber cylinder, collects paper dust, which can botch a printing job. The web offset process is more wasteful of paper than letterpress. And on long offset-press runs, the ink tends to emulsify with the water played on the impression plate and thus spread until the page turns into an unrecognizable blob...
...instruments that OSO carries. An X-ray spectrometer measures the wave length and strength of X rays coming from the sun. A photomultiplier tube looks for powerful gamma rays that are believed to come from electrons and positrons annihilating each other in the sun's churning gas. A dust counter watches the sun to find out whether microscopic dust particles are coming from its direction...
Finally a grave green dust settled over your big and aimless hills...
