Most serious of all, the slick could do irreparable damage to plankton and other algae. At the bottom of the ocean food chain, these simple organisms, directly or indirectly, provide sustenance -to say nothing of life-giving oxygen -for all the creatures higher up on the ladder of marine life. The Breton seaweed crop, grown for the pharmaceutical, textile and food industries, represents 90% of France's seaweed production and 75% of Europe's. This year's crop has been heavily damaged...
...think pump of Engine is Charles Lang (Dwight Schultz), who has devised a method for producing energy by splitting the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water.

First, racks of wafers are placed in long cylindrical ovens filled with extremely hot (about 2,000° F.) oxygen-containing gas or steam. In effect, the wafers are rusted-covered by a thin, electrically insulating layer of silicon dioxide that prevents short-circuiting. Then the wafers are coated with still another substance: the resist, a photographic-type emulsion sensitive only to ultraviolet (UV) light. (To prevent accidental exposure, clean rooms are generally bathed in UV-less yellow light.) Next, a tiny mask, scaled down photographically from a large drawing and imprinted with hundreds of identical patterns of one layer...
...opening tip-off as midway through the first half. Frank Konstantynowicz sprinted the length of the court for a layup that gave the hoopsters a 22-6 lead, the biggest bulge of the night. The cagers looked a little leg-weary themselves in the later going but forced enough oxygen balls in the first half with Brown shooting only .393 from the field to coast home...
