Bizarre Products. To prepare solids for microencapsulation, N.C.R. scientists grind and filter them down to particles of the desired size. Liquids are suspended in droplet form in other liquids-like salad oil in water-and the mixture is run through an industrial blender that breaks the droplets down into still smaller sizes. The tiny particles or droplets are then placed in a solution of coating material, which congeals around them when the temperature, acidity or concentration of the solution is changed-forming capsules as small as one twenty-five-thousandth of an inch in diameter...

In an era when the pace of social as well as technological change seems to be accelerating at a geometrical rate, the Congress tends to grind exceeding slow. The hyperactive 89th Congress is atypical; on Capitol Hill it is normally easier to obstruct than to enact. To appreciate how Congress usually functions, we need only go back to the first session of the 88th Congress in 1963.
