...Williamsburg section, an American Cyanamid Co. tank truck backed up to the Radio Receptor Co.'s plant (which makes electronic equipment) to deliver 500 gallons of nitric acid. Driver Benjamin Sidla hooked up his hose to a pipe indicated by employees, started pumping. After a few minutes, a man rushed up from the basement, yelled to Sidla: "You'd better stop. The fumes are terrible down there." Somehow the nitric acid had been diverted into a 3,000-gallon tank containing hydrochloric. Result: royal water, which was already beginning to dissolve the tank's rubber lining, eating...
...studying the effects wrought on the radioactive graveyards by such phenomena as bottom currents, movement of bottom sediment and the upwelling of bottom waters. AEC is also concerned about such future needs as a program of international coordination (Britain now pumps its low-energy atomic garbage through a pipe into the Irish Sea) and the radioactivity that will remain in the oceans in the wake of nuclear-powered ships...
From cheering Novosibirsk, Nixon moved on to Sverdlovsk, where the Bolsheviks shot Czar Nicholas II and his family in 1918, then drove deep into the Urals to visit a copper mine and Russia's largest tube and pipe plant.

...costs (up in Atlanta 4.5% over last year) and dozens of minor expenses, e.g., shoeshines (up 10? to 35? in Sacramento) and haircuts (up 25? to $2 in San Francisco).

The state of Washington alone has new tax increases this year on liquor (5%), real estate rentals (.4%), business transactions (10%), and even a brand new thought-earth-moving...
...quiet blue haze of North Carolina's high Pisgah National Forest, Ranger Ted Seely, 51, brier pipe in mouth, tramped through tree-darkened groves where waterfalls trickled down slopes and an occasional deer or groundhog darted into a clearing. His top worry of the day was checking the waters of the Pigeon, Hominy, Davidson and other rivers to be sure that they were flowing silt-free; miles below three North Carolina communities and some of the state's biggest paper, cellophane, rayon and nylon plants were depending on a steady 100 million gallons daily...
