...whose emissions have long irritated Muskegon residents. Paper mills smell because they emit sulfide and methyl-mercaptan gases. Instead of venting those gases into the air, the destinking system sends them into a special furnace fed by pressurized air and natural gas. The fumes are then forced through a flame that burns at 1350° F., which is the oxidation point of the sulfides and mercaptans. The resultant oxides are virtually odorless...
...unavailingly to defeat such undertakings as the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan and NATO. But for all practical purposes, the doctrine died with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Senator Arthur Vandenberg wrote in his diary: "That day ended isolationism for any realist."

Best cleavage forward, Yvonne De Carlo (real name: Peggy Middleton, of Vancouver, B.C.) steamed her way through Hollywood, sometimes seriously but often as conscious self-parody. The wife of Hollywood Stunt Man Bob Morgan and mother of two boys, De Carlo, 48, is an exemplar of the John Wayne philosophy: go west and turn right. "The whole company kids me," she says.
