...Edwin H. Land last week demonstrated a new invention: a film that delivers black-and-white transparencies (instead of standard prints) within 60 seconds after they are snapped. The transparencies, says Land, have probably ten times the light range of conventional prints, clearly reproducing the smallest details when projected onto a screen. Another advantage: the film is five times as fast as Eastman's high-speed TriX, can be used successfully under the worst lighting conditions...

Thus, peaches grown in Southern France are shipped 500 miles to Paris, loaded onto trucks, brought to Les Halles, unloaded into barrows, sold, then sent out again, perhaps leaving Paris on the same train on which they arrived, finally to be eaten in a restaurant a few miles from where they were grown. The waste is enormous. An estimated quarter of all fruit...
