...Frenzy. The French began experimenting with ozonization at the turn of the century, but they were long held back by the high cost of producing ozone. In 1968, however, when the Compagnie Generale des Eaux opened a highly automated $27.5 million plant in the Paris suburb of Choisy-le-Roi, it proved that a sizable city could afford ozone treatment...
Choisy-le-Roi takes in up to 2,450 gallons of raw Seine water per second and puts it through a series of preliminary steps not unlike those in any U.S. water plant. First comes a "scrubbing" with ferric chloride and other chemicals; then the heavier particles of dirt are allowed to settle to the bottom of tanks while the lighter ones are removed by filtering. Elsewhere in the plant, in twelve huge stainless-steel containers, ozone is produced by bombarding dried, refrigerated and pressurized air with up-to-20,000-volt bolts of electricity...

The third thread is a hilarious pornographic narrative spoken throughout the movie in clipped, unemotional tones...
...departure. I think enchantment with the individual found its flowering as a force in modern history with the existentialist movement, with the popularity of Kierkegaard, Dostoevesky, Sartre, Camus; and in this country (in some way) with Salinger; for blacks with Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, the poetry of Le Roi Jones and the social criticism of Eldridge Cleaver; and in Southern literature with the heroes and anti-heros of William Faulkner...
