Blow-by devices fight smog by piping the smog-making gases that collect in the crankcase back through the intake manifold to be burned in the cylinders. To ease the eye sting in Los Angeles, the nation's smog capital, Detroit last year equipped all new cars to be sold in California with a blow-by device made by General Motors' A.C.

...earning a Harvard Ph.D. in English when he met the late great Microbiologist Hans Zinsser. Inspired by Zinsser, Enders switched to bacteriology. But inspiration, he insists, has little place in the practical results of research. "As a rule, the scientist takes off from the manifold observations of his predecessors . . . The one who places the last stone and steps across to the terra firma of accomplished discovery gets all the credit." Thus Dr. Jonas Salk got most of the credit for developing polio vaccine.
