...plant, a gleaming $3.3 million facility that can produce up to 2,620,000 gallons a day. The plant uses the so-called "flash" process, by which heated sea water is forced through a series of low-pressure chambers until it vaporizes into steam, which, in turn, condenses into pure water-much as steam condenses on the surface of a tea kettle. Fifteen years ago, desalination cost up to $5 per 1,000 gallons; with the flash method, it now costs...
...rollers, many of whom frankly imitate Negro originals. Now, after the success of such Negro singers as Lou Rawls and Dionne Warwick, the authentic soul sound has come into its own in the white, teen-dominated pop market.

They figured out a way to make a cooking fire by rubbing a steel cord across a log and then pouring gunpowder on it. After months of experimenting, they discovered how to distill pure salt from sea water, then used the salt to preserve the meat of cows and wild pigs that they occasionally managed to kill. They kept an eye on the U.S. base -and on its garbage dump, which they sometimes raided for supplies. Using discarded tools and old tires, they fashioned round, oversized sandals that both protected their feet and ingeniously disguised their footprints. Deciding that...
