...tons), 80% of its bauxite, 64% of its phosphates, the majority of its chemicals. To produce chemicals by its own patented processes, Catini has built 155 plants costing $540 million in 23 nations (including the U.S. and U.S.S.R.) that turn out 7,000,000 tons of nitrogen annually, 13% of the world's total. Currently under contract: another 43 chemical plants for companies in twelve foreign lands, a deal with the Indian government to build hydroelectric works...
...poor Italy. He made blasting powder for his own mines and turned Catini into Italy's No. 1 explosives manufacturer. Long before industry as a whole appreciated the need for research, he surrounded himself with scientists, and Catini's white-coated Giacomo Fauser developed the world-famous nitrogen fixation process that made it a leader in producing nitrates and fertilizers. When bills for fertilizer bags got too high Donegani imported jute from India, made Catini Italy's biggest jute processor; when power shortages hampered production, he built his own dams and power stations. With tycoon-fitting foresight...
...inflated sub-satellite is a balloon of Mylar plastic .0025 in. thick covered with an aluminum film .0006 in. thick. When released from the third-stage rocket, it will weigh 10½ oz. complete and look like a wad of aluminum foil. A small capsule of compressed dry nitrogen will expand the plastic to a sphere 20 in. in diameter, which will follow at first the same orbit as the hardshelled satellite. Gradually the two will separate. The sub-satellite will have more drag per unit of weight, and so will slow down more quickly. The speed with which...
...Yoshio Oyama was a skilled veteran in deep-sea diving. For 20 years he had flirted, unscathed, with underwater hazards, of which the deadliest is the invisible "bends"-nitrogen coming out of solution in the blood and forming bubbles that cause excruciating pain or paralysis. A fortnight ago, Veteran Diver Oyama met the bends...
...estimated time on a flank-speed, 500-mile run to Nagasaki. It took the sorely tried Oyama aboard, and doctors went with him into the sub's decompression chamber. He spent 38 hours there and breathed a mixture of helium and oxygen to help flush out the nitrogen. At the end, Oyama could stand shakily on one leg, though the other was still paralyzed. Said Oyama: "If I get well I shall go back to diving because it is the only thing I know. But I will only go into shallow water-no more deep diving...
