Despite the possibility of court action by vitamin producers, the FDA anticipates few problems enforcing its new rules. The agency has 17 testing labs across the country to monitor products and ample authority to recall or seize those that fail to meet its standards. Del Monte and Pillsbury, two of the nation's largest food producers, already include nutritional information on the labels of their products; food chains like Safeway and National are planning to do so. Others are expected to go along to satisfy both the FDA and consumers, who are becoming increasingly sophisticated about what they...
Stephen S. J. Hall, vice president for Administration, said yesterday that the University is also in the process of installing a Delta 2000 computer system in the Undergraduate Science Center which will monitor the utility and fire alarm systems in addition to operating the locking system...
...Package). At a site some 300 ft. west of Challenger, Geologist Schmitt, with Cernan's help, will set up the five ALSEP experiments, giving space scientists their fifth automatic observatory on the moon (see Lunar Science, page 44). The ALSEP experiment that the scientists are particularly eager to monitor involves two probes that measure the flow of heat from the moon's interior. During Apollo 16, that $1,200,000 experiment was ruined when Astronaut John Young tripped over one of the cables connecting the probes to the central transmitter and ripped the wire loose. To avoid...
...Apollo 17, four wholly new instruments have been included in the ALSEP package: a mass spectrometer to measure the moon's tenuous atmosphere; a detector that will let earthbound scientists monitor the bombardment of cosmic dust particles and micrometeorites on the moon's surface; an array of four listening devices-geo-phones-that can pick up shock waves from explosive charges that will be detonated after the astronauts leave and should tell much about the substructure of the landing site; an extremely sensitive gravimeter that is designed to pick up minuscule variations in lunar surface gravity...
...quite good at isolating pockets and spasms and rumbles of life that the "straight" American uneasily feels are going on behind his back, or under his feet, or over his head. Shepard is a sensitive monitor of what might be called the Cross-Over Culture, the place and time where private black lingo, black clothing fashions, black drugs and violence, and black music become part of some whites' lifestyles. This is osmotic rather than overt, something in the mood and tempo of his work, and not in the presence of any black characters in his plays...
