Choisy-le-Roi takes in up to 2,450 gallons of raw Seine water per second and puts it through a series of preliminary steps not unlike those in any U.S. water plant. First comes a "scrubbing" with ferric chloride and other chemicals; then the heavier particles of dirt are allowed to settle to the bottom of tanks while the lighter ones are removed by filtering. Elsewhere in the plant, in twelve huge stainless-steel containers, ozone is produced by bombarding dried, refrigerated and pressurized air with up-to-20,000-volt bolts of electricity...
...semis. They were playing for maybe the fiftieth time, but this one counted for more than most. Stockton never got started. Both were edgy, hitting too soon. But Stockton was taking his misses more to heart than Connors. He let them wear down his pace, and he trudged ever heavier from side to side on game changes. He grew cautious when his anger should have triggered an offensive--hugging the backcourt when he should have attacked from the net, trying to outhit with loping topspins when he needed bullets. Connors wasn't beating him, he was eating himself...
...their electronic furnace, they melted different materials in a test of techniques that could eventually lead to production in space of nearly perfect ball bearings, impurity-free lenses and precision crystalline electronic components. In contrast to such processes on earth, the materials should mix thoroughly during melting (without heavier components sinking to the bottom), and no containers would be needed that could introduce contaminants...
...close with an unaccustomed quiet that news magazines and conservative Faculty thrive on. The burdens the world bore this year were no less painful, no less unwieldy than the threats to self-determination and human equality to which past years have made us accustomed. But local burdens seem heavier, because after years of radical protest and finally the defeat of even a liberal politician clearly better qualified than Richard Nixon to be President, national forums seem a less appropriate focus for change. But local energies, like today's women's protest, and whatever difference exists between the consciousness...
Radcliffe's stiffest competition should come from the Lake Merritt Rowing Club of Oakland, California, and from the University of Wisconsin. Lake Merritt chooses its boat from over 600 candidates and averages nearly 30 pounds heavier per person than the boat Radcliffe will enter...
