Gamma rays kill all coliform bacteria in the water, which is then filtered and scrubbed clean of particles. The result is as clear, pure and tasteless as distilled water. Dr. David R. Woodbridge, a physicist and one of the method's inventors, says that the process can be used in medium-sized cities and would cost householders about $3.50 per month more than they are now paying for fresh water. If necessary, tasty additives could be introduced. Presumably, a dash of DDT and a cup of raw sewage would bring the clean water to present U.S. standards...
Absolutely Pure. Unfortunately, most existing U.S. water-treatment plants have serious drawbacks. They either produce water loaded with organic nutrients that soon add to water-pollution problems, or else involve as many as three separate-and extremely expensive -stages of treatment. Sensing profit in this inefficiency, a handful of companies, including Calgon and the Linde Division of Union Carbide, have developed competitive systems. Two civil engineers at New York University, Alan H. Molof and Matthew M. Zuckerman, tested their method at a $69,962 pilot plant in New Rochelle, N.Y. They send sewage through an alkaline solution that breaks down...
...ballad delivered with an upbeat melody. Mr. Tinker, for example, is about a tailor whose life has passed him by. "It isn't easy for a tailor/When there's nothing left to sew" goes one of its lines. The lyrics may be sorrowful, but the music is pure devil-may-care...
After surveying more than 5,000 students at 39 diverse campuses, ranging from Princeton to Michigan's Grand Valley State College, the Gergens found that almost one out of three students favored immediate withdrawal from Viet Nam. Pure self-interest was a relatively minor factor; the students' draft-lottery numbers bore little relation to their views on Viet Nam. Instead, more than two-thirds based their beliefs on the moral and social damage that they feel the war is inflicting on American society...
Michael Kahn, eschewing a tragicomic view of the play, has pushed his production along the gamut to pure comedy and at times beyond this in the direction of farce. The advantage accruing from this is that audiences will readily accept, under the guise of comedy, the kind of silly plot that they would not swallow in a serious work. But there is a disadvantage too: a comic interpretation tends to prevent the audience from realizing that grave issues are being extensively dealt with in this play. Kahn made his choice, and has proven its viability beyond a doubt...
