Holography produces no familiar photographic negative or print. But when light is directed upon a holographic negative-or hologram-its smudgy and apparently meaningless patterns of concentric circles and parallel lines become a window through which a viewer sees the scene that was photographed. By moving his head from side to side, he can look through that window at different angles and change the perspective of the three-dimensional view; he can look around an object in the foreground to see what is behind it, just as if he were examining the actual scene...

Within the next year, the MSD began to construct large sewers parallel to the banks of the Charles intercepting all the old local sewers that once flowed directly into the river. This ended the major source of pollution. But these same local sewers also carried storm water and during heavy storms the interceptors were made to overflow into the Charles, to avoid their backing up and clogging local systems. Essentially, this was the method used until this year...
