Woods Hole Marine Biologist John Ryther has devised an even more ingenious aqua-farming scheme using partially treated sewage water from the Cape Cod town of Wareham. In his ponds, Ryther raises a thick harvest of plankton, which is then fed to baby oysters. To remove whatever ammonia, phosphates or nitrates the oysters and plankton may have left behind, he runs the sewage water over beds of seaweed, which also thrives on these chemicals...

...determine whether individuals can be taught to use one brain hemisphere or the other at will. EEG electrodes applied to both sides of the scalp pick up the subject's alpha waves (brain rhythms of a person awake but relaxed). These are electronically converted into sounds, which are fed into each ear. The effect, says Ornstein, "is to allow the person to hear tones varying with the activity of each hemisphere." The subject can then attempt to concentrate with one hemisphere and test his success by the relative volume of tones he hears. Thus Ornstein is testing...
