Produced in San Francisco since 1896, Anchor Steam acquired the second part of its name-or so legend has it-because early batches tended to geyser out of their wooden kegs when tapped. The brewery fell on hard times during the rise of the national brands, and it was about to go out of business when Maytag bought it in 1965. A novice, he became a master brewer and turned what some considered a wealthy man's hobby into a serious business. Last year Anchor Steam produced 33,500 bbl. of beer, and while most of that is sold...

With three granite posts, Propylea is basically a tripodic form with a large crossbar spanning the top. Almost like a geyser, water spurts out the top and spills down the sides.

To the rest of us, Propylea's massive structure brings to mind to mysterious monuments of Stonehenge...
...spurting price of oil has prompted both scientists and backyard tinkerers to try tapping alternative forms of energy, ranging from sun power to geyser power. Not waiting for these exotic energies to arrive, Brazil is making an all-out effort to exploit a quite ordinary, but until now underused, power source: alcohol distilled mainly from its bumper crops of sugar cane. Already, 230,000 of the automobiles moving along Brazil's roads are powered by pure alcohol instead of gasoline. By 1982, Brazil hopes to have produced at least 1 million alcomobiles. Except for a few minor engine alterations...
...Geyser Dousers & Sign Reversers. Literary and artistic work is just a part of the swath of destruction left by carefree vacationers. They tear out bathroom fixtures and pull up flowering plants. They use blasting powder to collect specimens of Indian hieroglyphics. They feed chocolate-covered laxatives to bear cubs and dump detergent into geysers. Sometimes they block up geysers with rocks and logs. They reverse signs on trails-a form of humor that has led to at least one near fatality. In Gettysburg they love to push over monuments...
