...most desirable cities in the U.S. [Jan. 11], it said that "Atlanta is the second worst city for water pollution after Albuquerque." This comment has caused great consternation to both citizens and public officials here. TIME's source, the Places Rated Almanac, quoted a 1974 report on liquid effluent being discharged into the river. You imply that the city currently has polluted drinking water. This water comes from wells and has never been less than first-rate. Furthermore, since 1978, Albuquerque has been in compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, which means that wastes no longer pollute...
...hooking her up to a heart-lung machine; somehow the connection was made backward. For 15 minutes no one noticed, and instead of pumping oxygenated blood into Green, the machine drained blood out of her aorta. The resulting brain damage has left her a speechless quadriplegic living on liquid protein. (And she could live that way for 20 years because her heart surgery was successful.) The Greens sued for malpractice, and the chief surgeon on the case settled for $575,000. But the Government, which represented Colonel Stanford, fought the suit tenaciously. That was a mistake...
...most robust-looking character in the exhibition is Robert Arneson, 51, whose favorite subject is his own head, blown up to more than Roman proportions and subjected to various odd indignities. In Splat, 1978, it has taken a bucketful of liquid white clay full in the face, like a vaudevillian copping a pie; a disembodied brown finger wipes the gunk away from his right eye socket. Arneson's mocking self-monuments are carried through with vast gusto and panache, and his technical resources seem limitless; besides, his formal ambitions are clear enough, below the funky surface. Even...
...take three or four sittings. In bonding, there is no drilling, no anesthetic is used, and several teeth can be bonded during a single visit to the dentist. Diluted phosphoric acid is applied to the natural tooth, etching microscopic pores into the enamel. Next comes a coat of liquid plastic to seal the tooth. Then a paste composed of plastic and finely ground quartz, glass or silica is patted on in thin layers tinted to match the natural teeth and molded into the desired shape. After each layer is applied, it is exposed for up to 40 seconds to either...
...trouble was not unfamiliar. "We have had a history of contaminants clogging the system," admitted a technician at Kennedy. NASA engineers had even included a bypass around the oil filters just in case. Such clogging is usually caused by a leak in liquid hydrazine, the auxiliary power units' fuel. Hydrazine reacts with lubricating oil to form waxy polymers, or gunk. Despite this hazard, prelaunch preparations did not include an oil change; the two jammed systems were running on the same oil used in last April's shuttle mission. Significantly, the oil in the one working system was fresh...
