Cleaning Up. Holy Cross High got the $72,000 and survived the year. Subsequent donations and benefits have enabled it to continue. When Liberty/United Artists contributed more than 20,000 record albums, one parent provided an empty store, others offered to staff it, and Holy Cross found itself in the record business. The store made $9,000. A benefit performance by Singer Vikki Carr raised $20,000. A Christmas fruitcake sale netted...
...correspondent for the New York Times, and later for NBC, Elie Abel has often found himself at the flash points of the world.

Tertiary Trouble. In the early 1960s, after one detergent ingredient had been found to foam as readily on rivers and lakes as in Laundromats, the industry converted to another chemical. Right now it is searching for an alternative to phosphates. One possibility is a chemical called NTA which can replace a significant portion of the phosphates in a box of detergent. Even so, some experts agree that the only true solution is the construction of "tertiary" treatment sewage plants that would reduce phosphates from all sources to harmless...
