...recovery site in the Pacific, a frogman dressed in an all-enveloping biological insulation garment (BIG) will open the command-module hatch, toss in three similar garments and quickly close it again.

Almost immediately, the frogman will again close the hatch, spray antiseptic around its edges, and then give the astronauts themselves a thorough spraying...

Added to this are similar fuel wastes from vaporetti (ferryboats) exhausts and industrial smokestacks.

Next to textile men, no other group has flexed as much political muscle as shoe manufacturers. By last week 303 members of the House had petitioned President Nixon for "voluntary" import restrictions on shoes. On a similar petition in the Senate, Republican Margaret Chase Smith of Maine gathered another 59 signatures, including those of Senators Edward Kennedy and Edmund Muskie...
