It is not by chance but design that the bulkiest Sunday newspaper of them all, the New York Times, is by no means devoted to fluff; the Times Sunday news sections generally outweigh the total contents of many of its competitors.

Even if their particles are only one micron (one twenty-five thousandth of an inch) in diameter, they fall through air at about eight inches per hour, which she considers too fast. Backed by the Air Force, Miss Raskin discovered a way to fluff various kinds of plastic into spherical particles that are mostly empty cells and almost as light as air. Miss Raskin's particles can be colored, and they fall 1,250 times slower than solid smoke particles of the same size. Collected in the form of a fine powder, eleven gallons...
