...reporter. His file arrived in New York apace with those of Washington Correspondents Marshall Berger and James Truitt, Seattle Bureau Chief Robert Schulman and Seattle Correspondent Russell Sackett. All, and much other information, went into the making of this week's cover story in NATIONAL AFFAIRS, Dave & the Green Stuff...
...since he became president." In an analytic mood, an old Beck associate says: "When Dave talks about money, it's like some other guy talking about a beautiful broad -he gets a gleam in his eye. The only pinup in Beck's mind is that good green stuff with numbers...
...soaked more than 543,000 acres in the valley below, created a treasure house of cotton, wheat and California-sized vegetables. In 1955 the $8,000,000 Mocuzari Dam was completed near Alamos, also in Sonora state. With its irrigation system finished, 197,000 acres have grown lushly green under a first planting of cotton and wheat...
...electron microscope shows that in green leaves the chlorophyll is arranged in flat disks like piles of plates. Biologists suspected that this delicate laminated structure had something to do with photosynthesis, but they could not make sense out of it until Bell Telephone Laboratories invented its solar battery, an electronic device made of thin layers of treated silicon. When sunlight hits the battery, it knocks electrons out of one of the silicon layers. Caught by another silicon layer, the electrons turn into a useful electric current. Hearing about this principle, Dr. Calvin and other scientists speculated that the thin layers...
...high-frequency radio waves through it. When strong light was shone on the chlorophyll, some of the radio energy was absorbed. This proved to Dr. Calvin that chlorophyll exposed to sunlight contains free electrons, and is therefore capturing light energy by the layer-to-layer method. Nature's green plants. Dr. Calvin believes, have turned out to be electronic solar batteries invented millions of years before human scientists ever thought of electronics...
