...More Roaring Metal. The Reading plant, says Roy Thompson, is a "cross between a laboratory and a hospital. No more of that hot, roaring metal. The typesetters wear ordinary clothes to work and don't spatter themselves with oil." The copy desk is just a few yards from twelve keyboard machines on which former linotypists type copy into the same sort of computer that some New York newspapers have vainly tried to install. The computer hyphenates and justifies lines to form even newspaper columns, thus eliminating one of the printers' biggest jobs...
...cried over detergent foam-up in streams and rivers; science developed more easily broken-down ("biodegradable") detergents. Science has developed techniques for pretreating sewage and industrial waste so that it need not pollute the nation's waters. Science will find new ways to use growing stockpiles of scrap metal; it is developing acceptable substitutes for wood...
...colors, and the tortuous work of blowing and shaping begins. For Ernst's tall, reddish-brown Poet, topped by a sharp-beaked head with a hole for an eye, the glassworker at some stages had the equivalent of a 100-lb. weight at the end of his long metal blowpipe. Le Corbusier's amber Bucrane went through 26 failures, costing about 3,000,000 lire ($5,000) in workers' wages and shattered glass. As for André Verdet's Red Character, Costantini spent three years simply studying the project...
Steel accounts for only 5.2% of industrial output in an increasingly diversified U.S. economy, but its impact is vastly larger.

...serve the chemical industry in myriad ways. The company now derives more than half its sales from such mystical mechanisms as its $25,000 infrared spectrophotometer, a crucial tool in the development of synthetic fibers, and the $6,000 atomic absorption spectrophotometer, which almost instantly measures the amount of metal in a chemical sample. Lately, it has also branched into laser technology, produces the powerful gas lasers used in tracking missiles. For the U.S. space program, it makes the instruments that align the Saturn and Centaur guidance systems, the infra-red sensors that monitor carbon dioxide inside the Apollo spacecraft...
