...oldtime, nontechnical methods are not neglected either. Missile-sniffing dogs are getting intensive training. A pair named Dingo and Count are being schooled to locate small missile fragments coated with paint mixed with squalene, a noisome extract of shark-liver oil. The dogs have already learned to ignore coyote and rabbit scents, and they can whiff a shark-flavored fragment half a mile downwind. Vernon Miller, chief of the range instrumentation division, thinks that the dog detectives will be over the research hump and busy at serious work within six months...
...desolate, mountainous region, where the rivers run black over slate and shale. Its miners are a tough, hardy folk, for the equipment they use is outmoded, the coal they dig is of low quality and difficult to extract; a man's average output is only six-tenths of a ton in an eight-hour day, perhaps one-twentieth of a U.S. coal miner's production...

Ex-Premier Michel Debre was ordered to appear as a witness, but in two hours of close crossexamination, Salan's lawyers were unable to extract much that was helpful to their client. And Salan's case was damaged when a defense witness spoke feelingly of the "humanity" of the present S.A.O...
McConnell and colleagues are now try ing to extract RNA and capture the flat-worm's tail-end chemical memory. They feel sure that if they succeed, some enterprising drug company will be able to synthesize the modified RNA. "If transfer of memory should be valid for man as well as worm," said Dr. McConnell as he indulged in a flight of fancy at a San Francisco conference, "why should we waste all the knowledge a distinguished professor has accumulated, simply be cause he's reached retirement...
...biggest chunk is an 8-ft. by 10-ft. section of the tail. Yet the skilled crash detectives of the U.S. Government's Civil Aeronautics Board can identify and check every tiny fragment. Out of the grim jigsaw puzzle, they will slowly and carefully extract the "probable cause" of the accident. Then other 707s, forewarned and perhaps modified, may be saved from making plunging turns into disaster...
