...their plane neared Phnom-Penh, Philips and O'Shea observed that there was practically no cultivated land. "I've been flying light aircraft for a long time," Philips said, "and I've never seen a countryside more devoid of people." There were few signs of life at Phnom-Penh's airport; landing instructions had come from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), 130 miles away. The plane was met by representatives of the International Red Cross and of UNICEF. At first it was not clear how the unloading was to be done. Then emerged a ragged line...
...field and 250 ft. to 300 ft. high, are created by drilling parallel tunnels leading from a vertical mineshaft into the rock at two different depths. The shale in between is then reduced to rubble by explosions in both the top and bottom. Each chamber is sealed, and pilot-light burners are lowered to start cooking the rock. Kerogen released from the shale settles to the bottom of the chamber and is piped out. Occidental engineers have already "fired" six giant chambers at an experimental facility at Logan's Wash-with mixed results. In an experiment last July...
...session, electrodes are attached to one or both sides of the head, and 80 to 100 volts applied for as much as one second. That produces enough current to light a 100-watt bulb and causes a brain seizure, which can be traced on an electroencephalogram. Patients regain consciousness within minutes but may be groggy and confused for a while. Usually six to ten ECT sessions are given within a two-to-three-week period...

"He throws a ball that's easy to catch," says Jefferson, giving him the ultimate receiver's compliment...
...that you would think a hotel had refused to honor his traveler's checks. When the comet's "splinters" finally hit earth, wiping out a Swiss ski resort and a drive-in theater in Pisa, all Meteor can sum mon up is a few flashes of red light and some whoosh noises. Only at the end is there a convincing special effect: a tidal wave of sewage muck that engulfs the New York City subway system. When it comes to excrement, the makers of Meteor really know their stuff...
