...name Tarbox for the town in which the action, among other things, was laid. While reading, I watched carefully for a cause for civil action, but ended feeling more envious than damaged. In Pasadena, about the most daring thing mixed couples do that I know of, is play a fast game of croquet...
State of Emergency. The Progressive Laborites, however, claim that progress has not come fast enough. They charge that the whites get the best jobs in government and that there is still de facto social segregation, want to limit the number of white immigrant workers from Britain. "It is going to really get hot this summer," Parliamentary Candidate Austin Thomas warned a rally in Hamilton two weeks ago, "and it is going to be P.L.P. heat." A few hours later, a band of teen-age Negro hoodlums began throwing bottles and rocks at some police on Front Street. When more police...
...interacting processes and organisms that form the rhythmic cycles and food chains in which one part of the living environment feeds on another. The biosphere is no immutable feature of the earth. Roughly 400 million years ago, terrestrial life consisted of some primitive organisms that consumed oxygen as fast as green plants manufactured it. Only by some primeval accident were the greedy organisms buried in sedimentary rock (as the source of crude oil, for example), thus permitting the atmosphere to become enriched to a life-sustaining mix of 20% oxygen, plus nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide and water vapor. With miraculous...
...city incinerators now destroy about 3,000,000 metric tons of other valuable metals a year; magnetic extractors could save the metal and reduce incineration by 10%. The packaging industry could do a profound service by switching to materials that rot-fast. The perfect container for mankind is the edible ice-cream cone. How about a beer container that is something like a pretzel? Or the soft-drink bottle that, when placed in the refrigerator, turns into a kind of tasty artificial ice? Soft drinks could also come in frozen form, as popsicles with edible sticks...
Sometimes pollution can even help recreation. In flat northeastern Illinois, for instance, the handsomest recreation area will soon be Du Page County's fast-rising 118-ft. hill and 65-acre lake-artfully built on garbage fill. One form of pollution could even enhance-rather than spoil-water sports. Much of the nation's coastline is too cold for swimming; if marine life can be protected, why not use nuclear plant heat to warm the water? Or even create underwater national parks for scuba campers...
