DIED. RUTH SIEMS, 74, General Foods research-and-development staff member whose carefully planned recipe made Stove Top stuffing a best-selling comfort to harried mothers everywhere; of a heart attack; in Newburgh, Ind. Knowing that bread-crumb size held the key to liquid absorption--and thus "proper texture and mouthfeel," as the patent stated--she determined the precise dimensions of the ideal crumb--about those of a pencil eraser. Now part of Kraft, Stove Top sells some 60 million boxes every Thanksgiving...
...with Soviet technology, is China's showcase chemical complex, alma mater to the country's top chemical engineers. On the afternoon of Nov. 13, pressure built up in a 40-m tower at plant No. 101, where nitric acid and benzene are combined to make nitrobenzene, a highly toxic liquid. Technicians tried to relieve the pressure but failed, and the column exploded, killing five workers and injuring 70 others. Five more explosions followed. The blasts broke windows and produced a massive, orange cloud of smoke...

You're in luck: home kits are now available. Next Product: Fruit Tattoos...
...miniatures, a video and a reproduction of a water-pumping system. The clever automatons they built to amuse the aristocracy are seen only in paintings. One of these, from the early 14th century, limns an elaborate drinking cup topped by a bird that rotates and whistles as the liquid is poured into the base. The show ends with a room of Islamic ceramics traced with elegant calligraphy based on mathematical principles of proportion, and gilded and enameled glassware that required sophisticated technology to keep the brilliant colors from running together. Yet for all its treasures, the show never solves...
