...President overlooked one money-saving -- and helpful -- proposal, aid through fish flour. Fish flour, recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration, is a colorless, tasteless and odorless protein concentrate made very cheaply from the "trash" fish, hake. Since an estimated two billion persons in underdeveloped countries suffer from lack of protein, Johnson could reasonably have suggested sending fish flour instead of money as foreign...
...clear smoke from their skies, have now discovered that their drives against pollution have only just begun. A full 90% of U.S. air pollution consists of largely invisible but potentially deadly gases. More than half of the contamination in the air over the U.S., for example, consists of colorless, odorless carbon monoxide, most of it issuing from the exhaust pipes of automobiles, trucks and buses...
...clippings, paper towels, sponges, detergent, and the carbon that is produced by spacecraft atmospheric-regeneration systems (because it will probably be recycled for drinking water, urine was not included). They then blended their repulsive mixture with powdered metal and a solid oxidizer, producing a black, slimy, globlike but surprisingly odorless substance that was dignified with the name MONEX W. Ground-tested in a rocket engine, it ignited quickly, burned smoothly with a bright orange flame, and produced ample thrust. The successful demonstration has just won Rocket Research a NASA feasibility contract to determine if MONEX W can be used...
...hour trip. Another way of transporting small quantities is to mix them in water, soak the solution up in a handkerchief and let it dry-to be cut up later into squares, which LSD users chew. LSD is hard to track down because the compound is colorless, tasteless and odorless, and so potent that a gram, equal to one million micrograms, or 10,000 trips, could be stashed in a single cigarette. So far, illegal LSD is manufactured largely by amateurs, but potential profits represent a strong temptation for organized crime. Tougher legislation will probably make LSD scarcer and therefore...
...fluff only four inches long (plus three inches of tufted tail) that looks and leaps like a vest-pocket kangaroo. It is socially quite acceptable, has impeccable manners and irresistible charm. Its credentials are faultless: a desert species native to Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa, it is clean, odorless and friendly, eats little (sunflower seeds, lettuce, corn), excretes less (three drops of urine a day), and never bites. Besides all this, it is happy, playful, loyal, fearless, curious, and can be taught tricks...
