...will go to Betty Lou Raskin. 36, a research associate at Baltimore's Johns Hopkins University. This week, at a Washington, D.C.. meeting of the American Society of Plastic Engineers, Miss Raskin unveiled the skywriters' dream weapon: "holey smoke" particles which are made of foam plastic and are so gossamer light that they hardly fall...
