...Flight 85 cockpit crew were checked out only for domestic flights. Pilots Richard Hastings and Billy Williams, both 24-year veterans at TWA, volunteered to go along. Minichiello allowed them aboard, but suddenly he got jumpy. He fired a warning shot, which ricocheted harmlessly off an emergency oxygen bottle on the cockpit ceiling. Then Minichiello insisted that the jet take off at once. Trailed by a small plane full of FBI men, it flew northeast to Bangor, Me., to take on fuel for the ocean crossing. Again Minichiello passed the word through Cook that only the fueling crew...
...hardy new strains of wheat and barley now thrive in the sun-baked Israeli soil. In medicine, its scientists have developed a tiny, magnetic catheter that can travel through human blood vessels to reach the remotest regions of the body. As the world's leading producer of "heavy oxygen," the institute supplies these radioactive isotopes for tracer work to labs around the globe. One of its most ingenious feats was achieved by Biophysicist Aaron Katchalsky, who used synthetic fibers to duplicate the perplexing process by which muscles convert raw chemical energy into mechanical force...
...wounded on both sides, flashed onscreen like a kind of post-game scoreboard. Additionally, an all-star cast is recruited to man the planes and give some faint semblance of life to the statistics. This presents its own problems, however: once they are airborne and covered with goggles and oxygen mask, it is impossible to distinguish between any of the actors. A possible solution for future projects: the flight helmets should have the names of the performers, rather than their characters, stenciled across them. One could then immediately tell the difference between Caine, M.; Plummer, C.; and Shaw...
...tanker full of DDT were to be broken up in a storm tomorrow, the way so many oil tankers already have been, that DDT would be enough to slow the photosynthesizing micro-plants of the oceans. These plants produce ninety percent of the oxygen in the atmosphere. In as much time as it took us to breath the remaining oxygen. It would all grind to a halt once...
...Most people assume that on the Judgment Day God will appear above the clouds shortly after sunset and announce, "Well, guys, this is about it worldwise." The end of the world is actually much more likely to see its 6 billion people choking for three weeks on the fleeting oxygen in the air, and wretching with discase from the rotting corpses. Many kooks and nuts will rise to brief power during these final weeks. The New York Times will stop publishing...
