...asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases, and of all analogous liquids, materials, or devices" as well as "the use of bacteriological methods of warfare." In 1969 the General Assembly of the U. N. adopted a resolution recognizing that the Geneva Protocol prohibits "any chemical agents of warfare-chemical substances, whether gaseous, liquid or solid-which might be employed because of their direct toxic effects on man, animals or plants . . . , " thus including herbicides...
...spectrum, the Los Angeles look can be seen in Billy Al Bengston's "dentos"-crumpled aluminum sheets with depths of shimmering, candied and gaseous sprayed color trapped under layers of glossy acrylic. At the other, it is apparent in the prismatic bloom of Larry Bell's immaculate glass boxes, and in Robert Irwin's pale disks floating into immateriality above their own cast shadows. The "look" is always playing games with media (where but in L.A. would an artist do drawings in caviar and gunpowder, as Ed Ruscha did?) and it stops just this side of fetishism...
...probable ingredients of the earth's early atmosphere. A thin plastic membrane separated the gases from the other end of the tube, which contained chemically inert helium. The Bar-Nuns increased the helium pressure until the membrane broke. This produced a shock wave that swept into the gaseous mixture at high speed, momentarily creating temperatures of several thousand degrees. In seven separate experiments, at least four amino acids were left behind...
...that. One is a change of power plant-go to a gas turbine, steam engine, electric car, sterling engine, or what not. Another approach is what can we continue to do with the gas engine.... We might change the kind of fuel we are using and go to a gaseous fuel-liquefied petroleum (LPG) or compressed natural gas-these have been proposed with a fair amount of notoriety. The engine would be quite similar to the present engine with some minor changes. This system can be made, we can run them, we are running them. We have quite...
...stations based on American technology. The government will ask for bids from interested companies and make its decision this spring. The new plants will burn enriched uranium, which is highly fissionable and relatively cheap to use. Almost all of the Western world's enriched uranium is produced in gaseous-diffusion plants owned by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. For a time, at least, France would become dependent on U.S. fuel. The government announcement angered French atomic workers, who face the loss of 2,600 jobs because of cutbacks. Last week almost all of the 31,000 atomic workers went...
