...water is forced through a series of low-pressure chambers until it vaporizes into steam, which, in turn, condenses into pure water-much as steam condenses on the surface of a tea kettle. Fifteen years ago, desalination cost up to $5 per 1,000 gallons; with the flash method, it now costs...
...Neither method has yet been tried on the open seas, where $26,400 worth of detergents are required to disperse 100 tons of floating oil, with no assurance that it will not subsequently coalesce again. The cost of the Guardian dispersal agent would be around $7,000 per hundred tons of oil-which would have made the Torrey Canyon bill about $6,000,000. Because less foam is required with the Esso technique, it could further reduce the expense of oil dispersal to about $1,300 per hundred tons-plus the cost of application and collection-if it proves successful...
...four years there has only been one such investigation, and in that case the appeal board sided with Rudolph. If the board conducts a hearing on Rudolph's new scheme it will probably uphold his decision. The only other method of defeating the new traffic plan would be to fire Rudolph. The City Manager--not the City Council--has the power to dismiss him, and he is unlikely...
...method is so simple that, in most cases, it can be carried out under a local anesthetic in the doctor's office. The patient is told to fix his gaze on a distant object. Then, while his eyelid is held open, the icy tip of the pencil-size probe is applied to every part of the diseased section for seven seconds at a time. The area is thawed each time with a salt solution to unstick the probe and eye, which freeze together after the fashion of a finger on an ice tray. After the thaw, the entire procedure...
Based on instinct-shooting techniques developed by a Georgia snuff salesman and trick shot named Bobby Lamar ("Lucky") McDaniel, 41, the Quick Kill method was developed for the Army by McDaniel's former business associate, Promoter Mike Jennings, 50, a dabbler in horse races, prize fights and shooting matches. Behind the method is the same principle that a small boy instinctively adopts in a game of Cowboys and Indians. When he sights his foe, he flicks his index finger toward him and, without really aiming, hollers "Bang! You're dead!" His hand is an extension...
