...President's vigorous tone and concrete proposals, the message invited some criticism. No mention was made of the danger of oil pollution from proliferating offshore wells, or the environmentally absurd SST, with its sonic boom and probable pollution of the stratosphere. Nixon offered no proposals for curbing exhaust from the 83 million old cars now on the roads. Moreover the President paid little attention to the key problem of enforcement. Last fall, for example, the Federal Government announced that DDT must soon be phased out of use in the U.S. But delaying actions by farmers and manufacturers are likely...
Waiting Out the Rain Even so, she may not be the greatest Fonda. It has taken Peter the longest to establish priorities, to coincide his in- telligence and his energy. He still guns his emotional engine too loud, and the exhaust from his pronunciamentos of ten obscures the man. "Peter has made a career of not being repressed," says Susan Blanchard. But the career has gone from bullying waste to something measurable. His scenario for Easy Rider was sometimes self-indulgent. Its villains were as exaggerated and snarling as the overdrawn wrongos of his Dad's old oaters...
...such particles will not shower to the ground in rain or snow. The supersonic transport will fly at 60,000 ft., where there is no atmospheric turbulence or weather to bring pollutants down to earth. Even assuming that the plane has a fumeless engine, the water vapor in its exhaust may accumulate in the stratosphere, reflecting sunlight away from the earth...
...close. Operated by compressed air, it jammed when a late-arriving passenger interrupted its automatic closing cycle, and mechanics had to labor for half an hour to reset the system. The 747 was taxiing away from the terminal when a sudden gust of wind blew directly in the exhaust vent of the right outboard engine, causing the fuel to flare up and overheat the engine. The plane had to be brought back to the terminal, and Pan Am rushed to roll out its only other service-ready 747 to take over the flight. "It's marvelous," said Mrs. David...
...Manhattan last week, a three-day conference sponsored by the New York Academy of Sciences revealed that surprisingly low doses of the gas can be dangerous. Some scientists are even concerned about CO in tobacco smoke as well as auto exhaust. As they see it, the gas may explain why women who smoke cigarettes during pregnancy tend to have smaller babies than nonsmoking mothers...
