...will soon be discussed at length in the journal Physics Today. Basically, O'Neill proposes building completely self-contained space communities in the form of cylinders some 16 miles long and four miles in diameter. The cylindrical worlds would contain water, an atmosphere, earth-style farm land, fish, birds and other fauna. They would even have their own earthlike gravity, in the form of centrifugal force produced by rotation of the cylinders. With these and other amenities, the inhabitants (eventually as many as 200,000 people in each) could easily live, work and play on the cylinders' inner...
They gather each morning at dawn, waiting to see if the boats coming in are empty or full. Crewmen, captains, shipowners, processors and union representatives huddle in the gloom on fishing piers all along the New England seacoast. Like generations of fishermen before them, many of these weather-lined men work grueling twelve-hour shifts in biting winds and high seas for days on end. Unlike their predecessors, however, they are catching fewer fish every year-which is one reason that U.S. fish prices are rising so fast...
...crude huairas, or wind-draft casting furnaces, the Indian goldsmiths attained a level of technical skill that seems no less amazing today than it did in the 16th century, when that consummate metalworker Benvenuto Cellini is said to have spent weeks trying (and failing) to duplicate an Aztec fish of flexible silver plates inlaid with gold. The earlier goldworking cultures of Peru used hammered sheets as their basic material, but the Colombian artisans preferred to cast their images from gold. They were masters of the lost-wax technique, whereby a model of clay and charcoal was formed and then covered...

A three-leaf clover is male. The interpretations in this paragraph were offered by Sigmund Freud in his Complete Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis...
