...finished the long, sun-splashed climb through the streets of the little Pyrenees town. Veteran Belgian Driver Olivier Gen-debein even managed to get his foot jammed between brake pedal and accelerator on his little Emeryson speedster, shot off the road at high speed and wound up in a hay bale. With that kind of competition, Scottish Farmer Jimmy Clark, 25, who had never won a big race before, had no trouble bringing his Formula One Lotus home in front. ¶Just in time to give the last of the Easter tourists a helping hand with their hotel bills...
Young's other works are similar. In one he lets a butterfly loose in the audience, in another brings water and hay onto the stage for a piano to consume and in yet another repeats the phrase "whirlpools in some far-off sea."

...Like Wet Hay. McClure's bubble-breathing experience was part of an experiment by the Boeing Airplane Co. in Seattle, which is seeking an oxygen sys| tem that will support human space travelers. Using live algae to recycle the precious oxygen in spaceships is a venerable idea, but it is far easier to accomplish in fiction than in fact. Many space-minded companies have added algologists to their staffs, but Boeing believes it is the first to keep a man alive for a full day on algal oxygen. The original air in McClure's tank would have become...
Using energy taken from the light, the algae absorbed the carbon dioxide given off by McClure's lungs and replaced it with oxygen. The air in the closed system smelled like wet hay, but it stayed rich in oxygen (21%), while its CO2 content never got higher than a harmless...
