...some isolated ponds where the biologists found the walking catfish, it had already become the dominant species; in canals, it was fast gaining the upper hand over such native species as bass, brim and ordinary catfish. It seems to thrive in brackish as well as fresh water, and eats shrimp, crayfish, small minnows-practically anything that happens along. When biologists poison its ponds, it indignantly leaps from the water and starts across country during the daytime, sometimes dying of sunburn in the process. On land, where it forages nocturnally for snails and pine needles, the catfish is at its most...
...midday streets. The noisy streetcars are once again so crowded that passengers ride on their footboards. The tree-shaded boulevards around the Petit Lac, the garden spot in Hanoi's center, are daily thronged with strollers. The restaurants are full of people, many of them downing breaded shrimp, the favorite dish of Hanoi's residents. Each weekend, the routes in and out of Hanoi and Haiphong are jammed with parents headed for the countryside to visit their children, most of whom are encamped there for the duration, and men and women who work on the city...
Though no two Morrison's cafeterias are decorated alike-motifs can vary from French colonial to classical Roman-menus, portions and prices are the same from branch to branch. Shunning more exotic dishes, the chain sticks to such bestselling staples as roast beef, chicken and fried shrimp, specifications for which are detailed in a six-inch-thick recipe book called "the Bible." With an IBM computer keeping close tabs on supplies and customer preferences, Morrison's holds losses from spoilage and leftovers to a scant 2%. Similar precision governs food display: on the serving line, such higher-profit...

In tidal zones, limpets and other browsing creatures that keep shore lines free of decayed material and control the growth of seaweed were decimated. As a result, portions of the Cornwall coast are overgrown with seaweed this year...
...trying to clear the maddening interference-ridden nighttime AM radio band and the general clutter that hampered police communications during the Watts, Newark and Detroit riots. When people complain about excessive telephone or telegraph rates, or that radio-controlled garage doors are fouling up aircraft communications, or that shrimp-boat captains are uttering obscenities on ship-to-shore frequencies, it is the FCC that takes the rap. Besides all this, the FCC grapples with Comsat and community TV antenna development, not to mention countless research chores, such as the POPSI Project-measurement of "Precipitation and other types of Off-Path...
