...have begun to tap the geothermal energy of volcanoes in Mexico and the Azores. New offshore oil deposits have been discovered in such economically eroded countries as Italy and Britain. Researchers have just discovered a new subatomic particle. True, the explorers are not certain about what they have found; pure science seldom knows until years later. But then, who would have dreamed that blackboard physics of 70 years ago would ultimately lead to nuclear power...
...over-sized helmet and spastically jerking hands, the driver comes down-shifting through the turn and accelerates down a short straight and out of our vision. Nestled in bladders of gasoline, his is a desperate, faceless struggle to control such a hell-bent machine as it screams toward pure speed.

Jerry Ford's politeness and concern for his Asian hosts were pure prairie, the stuff that was nurtured on the Elm Streets by people who had to get along with each other...
...last week, there was a rush on bottled water, and city officials announced that they would investigate the water supply further.) Actually, the link between chlorination and the formation of these chemicals was confirmed abroad. J.J. Rook, a Dutch scientist, added chlorine to contaminated river water and to relatively pure lake water. The concentration of carbon tetrachloride and chloroform rose sharply in the polluted water, but not in the sample from the lake...
