...Freon. About the time the Beverly plant was begun in 1979, scientists were speculating that chlorofluorocarbons were a significant depletor of the earth's ozone layer. In earlier, smaller facilities, Otisca had been able to recover all but 0.1% of the Freon, motivated to do so by the sheer economics of recycling the expensive chemical. But in the big plant in Beverly, it was losing as much as 5%. Smith discovered that he had installed the wrong kind of compressor to recover the Freon, then argued with AEP over how to fix it. "I tried to save it too long...
...uncomfortable truth is that the Guggenheim has been problematic not just for curators but for visitors: the interior could be oppressive and maddeningly hermetic. Now, for the first time, the museum has complexity as well as sheer monomaniacal power. You can still keep to Wright's relentless ramp, but now you can also break away at four different levels into the new building and wander the loftlike galleries freely. Gwathmey has opened up the place, clearing away clutter and creating dozens of new architectural moments -- glimpses of Central Park, comfortably arm's-length views of the great ramp itself, details...
...like. Much of this classic material was reissued on LPs, but the technology used to reduce the surface noise often left the instruments sounding dead and flat. Now the advent of the CD has spawned another prodigious outpouring of reissues. And finally someone has had the time, affection and sheer wizardry to bring this great music alive for the hi-fi era: Australian sound engineer Robert Parker...
...nature intended, the sheer number of pollen grains -- the botanical bearers of sperm -- ensured that at least some would reach and adhere to their natural goal: the stigma, a moist and sticky receptor of the female organ of the flower. That would start a fertilization process eventually resulting in seed and the propagation of the species. As a result of one of nature's oversights, however, many of the pollen grains reached another moist and sticky target first: a human eye or the mucous membranes of a nose or bronchial tube, where they set off a chain of events with...
Although no single Harvard scholar probably has as much of an impact on the Republican side as Reich has on the Democratic, in sheer numbers, Harvard has more links to the Bush administration According to Institute of Politics Director Charles T. Royer, several Kennedy School professors get regular calls from administration officials...
