...jurisdiction over the entire medical area as well as portions of 15 Harvard-affiliated teaching hospitals, the Unitversity is the area's largest college producer of low-level wastes, Interex spokesman Joseph Rosenberg explains. In 1978, Interex hauled away about 3500 30-gallon barrels of Harvard-generated liquid sludge, for about $50 a barrel. Now, says Jacob A. Shapiro of the University's office of environmental health and safety, Harvard is paying about twice that to haul its wastes all the way to Washington. Rosenberg says "it is very, very likely that costs have doubled or tripled" in the last...
...course, came the endless rounds of toasts. We drank mao-tai, that deadly brew which in my view is not used for airplane fuel only because it is too readily combustible. I received graphic proof of this when Nixon on his return to Washington sought to illustrate the liquid's potency to his daughter Tricia. He poured a bottle of it into a bowl and set it afire. To his horror the fire would not go out; the bowl burst and sent flaming mao-tai across the table top. The frantic combined efforts of the First Family managed to extinguish...

Once the gas is cleaned of impurities-yielding valuable chemical byproducts in the process-it is mixed with a catalyst made of iron and other substances. This catalyst transforms the gas into liquid oil. Production costs amount to $17 per bbl. That is well below the OPEC price of around $20 per bbl. and much less than the $31 per bbl. that South Africa would have to pay on the spot market...
...unlikely scene, given America's appreciative thirst for bottled mineral water. After dusty decades on the back shelves of gourmet shops, the liquid is gurgling forth as the drink of the hour, dampening demands for the vodka-and-tonic and the glass of white wine. In 1976, $7.5 million worth of bottled mineral water was bought; this year's sales may rise as high as $250 million. Says Dwight Chattaway, a Chicago bottled-water distributor: "Mineral water is a Zeitgeist...
