...have generally avoided bylines for one major reason: most of our stories are the result of a collaboration among many individuals, so that credit is difficult if not impossible to apportion. We have followed this method not out of any abstract devotion to what has sometimes been called group journalism, but because of TIME'S basic function, which is to organize the week's news and to interpret it in a systematic, orderly and relatively concise fashion. To carry out that function, we cannot simply print a collection of dispatches from various reporters. A TIME story is usually...
...summer for which Wilson is bracing threatens to be enflamed by mob violence as well as street crime. Keeping mass demonstrations from turning into ugly rampages is Wilson's specialty. His method is not blind force but simple astuteness. At first, his approach made Attorney General Mitchell and his staff skeptical. But when the Justice Department briefed police forces around the country last month on the subject of summer demonstrations, it distributed a detailed description of Wilson's "model" methods...
Gamma rays kill all coliform bacteria in the water, which is then filtered and scrubbed clean of particles. The result is as clear, pure and tasteless as distilled water. Dr. David R. Woodbridge, a physicist and one of the method's inventors, says that the process can be used in medium-sized cities and would cost householders about $3.50 per month more than they are now paying for fresh water. If necessary, tasty additives could be introduced. Presumably, a dash of DDT and a cup of raw sewage would bring the clean water to present U.S. standards...
...many as three separate-and extremely expensive -stages of treatment. Sensing profit in this inefficiency, a handful of companies, including Calgon and the Linde Division of Union Carbide, have developed competitive systems. Two civil engineers at New York University, Alan H. Molof and Matthew M. Zuckerman, tested their method at a $69,962 pilot plant in New Rochelle, N.Y. They send sewage through an alkaline solution that breaks down large organic molecules. Then all the small molecules are adsorbed on activated carbon, a purifying material used in cigarette filters and gas masks. "Though the process needs to be perfected...
...motivation given with the proposals provides an understanding of their differences. The SMC proposal said. "Mass demonstrations remain the anti-war movements' most effective method for communicating its message to, and involving, the largest numbers of people. By the sheer weight of numbers that can be assembled at a given time and place, the movement gains credibility and visibility... The job of the anti-war movement is to educate, organize and mobilize tens of millions of people to hasten the day when those with the power to change governmental policy use that power...
