...defensive player sees only his moving prey. Thinks only of how best to move in for the attack. Hopes only to have enough oxygen to outrun...
...ball-carrier sees only the endzone in front of him. Thinks only six points. Hopes only to have enough oxygen to reach his destination...
...troposphere, CFCs are immune to destruction. But in the stratosphere, they break apart easily under the glare of ultraviolet light. The result: free chlorine atoms, which attack ozone to form chlorine monoxide (ClO) and O2. The ClO then combines with a free oxygen atom to form O2 and a chlorine atom. The chain then repeats itself. "For every chlorine atom you release," says Rowland, "100,000 molecules of ozone are removed from the atmosphere...
...high-altitude research aircraft is not for the fainthearted. The three pilots who flew the twelve solo missions through the Antarctic ozone hole found the task grueling. An hour before zooming into the stratosphere, each had to don a bright orange pressure suit and begin breathing pure oxygen to remove nitrogen from the blood and tissues, thus preventing the bends, which can result from rapid reductions in air pressure. Once airborne, "you have to have patience," says Pilot Ron Williams, who flew the first mission. "You're strapped into a seat and can't move for seven hours...
...meat tends to be dry when heated according to instructions and tastes better cold. Either a conventional oven or a microwave can be used for heating, but a conventional oven is better for breaded pieces, which should be crisp. As for shelf life, Perdue's method of replacing oxygen with inert nitrogen gives better results, judging from two dozen samples tested. The Holly Farms chilling process requires that the cooked birds be stored at between 28 degreesF and 32 degreesF, a range not always maintained in supermarkets and home refrigerators...
