...literally scrubbing rocks and gathering up blackened birds. Handprinted signs in every coastal village from Portsall to Roscoff announced mobilization meetings. Newspapers all over the country were flooded with offers of money and goods for Brittany's hard-hit fishermen; a radio station collected everything from pitchforks to rubber boots. A folk music group offered the earnings from a special new recording about the spill for the cleanup. Thousands of young people seized the catastrophe for political protest, shouting antinuclear-power slogans during a march in the port city of Brest (example: "Oil-covered today, radioactive tomorrow...
...lock, strip off their protective clothing and then pass through a shower. At no time will the scientists involved in P-4 experiments come into direct contact with the materials under study. Those tests will be conducted inside "glove boxes," glass-fronted stainless steel cabinets fitted with shoulder-length rubber gloves that enable workers to manipulate the culture dishes, test tubes and microscopes mounted inside yet remain isolated from the experiment. The risk of any leakage will further be reduced by keeping air pressure inside the cabinets lower than that in the room...

Rhodesia announced that the "self-defense" raid...
...visit Paris until 1928-and the sight of Davis grappling with the diction of Picasso and Gris, working his way through the lessons with the persistence of a man taking a correspondence course, remains very moving. For a whole year, he painted and repainted an eggbeater, a rubber glove and an electric fan. His Eggbeater No. 4, 1927-28, with its cool interlocking planes of methodically laid color, is one of the robust documents of what Davis himself called, with his usual deadpan wit, "colonial cubism...
