...Father Murray's views came triumphantly into their own with the wave of aggiornamento begun by Pope John XXIII and carried out after a fash ion in Vatican II.

Strickman remains tight-lipped about exactly how his filter works. Unwilling to jeopardize his pending patent, he merely says the filter consists of a new type of partly crystalline, nontoxic polymer that works by "selective trapping," perhaps based on ion exchange and electrostatic action. He claims it costs little to produce, can be part of the cigarette or used in a cigarette holder...

...using an ion engine instead of chemical fuel for deep space acceleration, Stewart believes, scientists will be able to launch outer planet probes with rockets as small as the Atlas-Centaur, or send considerably larger payloads aloft with the Saturn 5. Combined with gravity assists from the planets, the ion engines should allow sophisticated unmanned probes to give man a close look at the outer planets, regions outside the solar system - and even the sun itself...
