...General Corp., where she developed a public relations campaign to counter pollution charges against the company. It was a job that kept her busy. In 1979 California accused the company of illegally dumping 20,000 gal. per day of poisonous waste; in 1981 the EPA branded Aerojet's liquid fuel plant in Rancho Cordova as one of the nation's worst dumps...
...floor; on stage is a clutter of props and a telephone hanging down from the ceiling. By an occasional gesture within the play, Warner raises his own questions about the reality of theater: WOMAN pours MAN a drink of something from a while prop bottle and actually spills liquid onto his hand through his make-believe wine glass.

Before his first entrance, MAN can be seen in a full-length mirror...
...well as that of space, from interfering with observations of far-off infrared sources, IRAS' sensitive electronic devices must be kept supercold. The telescope's array of detectors, plus its primary lens, a 22-in. mirror, are tucked inside a thermos bottle-like vessel filled with pressurized liquid helium, which keeps the entire mechanism at 4° above absolute zero (-459.7° F). The detectors are so responsive they could spot a tiny electric bulb on the planet Pluto, nearly 4 billion miles away...
Soviet SS-20. The SS-20 is the biggest of the three (36 ft. tall, 5 ft. 6 in. in diameter). Unlike its Soviet liquid-fueled predecessors, which are considerably less accurate, the SS-20 is propelled by solid fuel. The main advantage: liquid fuel cannot be stored in a missile and the fueling process is slow. All U.S. missiles use solid fuel. The SS-20's range is long, up to 3,000 miles, and it is mobile, which makes it harder to find and destroy. Each has its own launcher, and Western intelligence experts suspect there...
...season you can die of thirst." The Sudd proved an obstacle to 19th century explorers, but today it is more of a hindrance to economic development. It can take a year for water entering the swamp to course through twisting channels; during that time, half of the precious liquid evaporates or is absorbed by plants...
