...offers so much to so many. Boxing's heroes are papier-mache champions. Hockey is gang warfare, basketball is for gamblers, and Australia is too far to travel to see a decent tennis match. Even baseball, the sportswriters' "national pastime," can be a slow-motion bore: finger resin bag, touch cap, look for sign, shake head, shake again, check first, big sigh, wind up, finally pitch. Crack! Foul ball-and the fans could be halfway to Chicago by jet. Even a good thing palls when the games go on day after day for six months. Football...
...promising solution makes use of ion exchange resins, bits of plasticlike material with metallic atoms built into their molecules. This material can be made to release certain elements in exchange for others. So when milk that has been slightly acidified with citric acid passes through the resin, it loses most of its strontium and picks up a little extra sodium or calcium. A process using this principle was developed by scientists of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, captures 98% of the strontium, but it costs nearly 10? per quart-more than most dairy farmers get for their milk...

Within the next decade, a series of eight acquisitions put Grace into sealing compounds, plastics, resin coatings, chemical catalysts, synthetic rubber, oil refining, and nuclear fuel processing. Sales to chemicals-hungry industry and agriculture leaped as Grace grew into a complex giant with 60 plants in 18 nations from Australia to Italy. Grace has also invested over $8,000,000 in Libyan oil concessions and predicts...
Working with electronic engineers, the Buffalo doctors devised a transistorized pacemaker, driven by a tiny, long-life mercury battery, cast in epoxy resin and encased in a double coating of silicone rubber. The instrument uses the timing effect of electrical surges in a closed circuit to measure off 60 beats a minute. To carry the impulses to the heart, Dr. Chardack uses two springs of platinum-iridium alloy, attached to the heart muscle...
