...crime shows want to impress Minow too. The FCC chairman thinks television is unfit for human consumption, does he? A cultural slag heap? They'll show him. Result: the cultured, well-heeled flatfoot. Robert Taylor's retooled Detectives (NBC) now wear button-down collars, glen plaid suits, and shoot professorially from the mouth. "A beatnik," said one Taylor gumshoe last week, "is a vagrant with intellectual pretensions.'' ABC's The New Breed celebrates Lt. Price Adams (Leslie Nielsen) and the new, soft-spoken young cops of the Los Angeles Police Department, college men and nearly...
Although the University reportedly filled in these fields with compressible slag after a flood in 1956, the fill has sunk so far into the former tidal area that drainage pipes, 30 feet apart, are almost literally supporting the entire area. Instead of allowing rainwater to drain off, the silt serves as a reservoir where seagulls have been known to nest...
Although Administration officials cited one possible conservation plan, they declined to estimate its possible cost. This plan would involve filling the entire area with about eight feet of iron slag, which would solidify and act as a drain for the water. New turf would cover the slag...
Another plan that should be under way soon is a blue-sky dream of William Zeckendorf's Webb & Knapp Inc.-made practical by cheap power from Bonneville Dam and Stratmat's smelting process-to retrieve iron, copper and zinc from waste copper slag cast off by copper companies. A Webb & Knapp subsidiary, in which Stratmat is to have a minority interest, plans to build a mill in Montana and buy slag from Anaconda Co. at 25? a ton. The slag heap contains iron, copper and zinc ores worth an estimated $1.4 billion. Zeckendorf even hopes to sell...
...first, a horizontal, slowly rotating, gas-fired kiln, removes 55% of such impurities as oxygen and sulphur from ores of such low grade that blast furnaces cannot handle them, conditions them for the second step. This is a Udy-designed electric smelting furnace that finishes the job. The slag from the electric furnace can be put through a series of similar furnaces to draw off other metals such as chrome, copper, zinc and manganese. Thus, for the first time, a smeltery can work iron ore over with the same thoroughness that an oil refinery uses to squeeze every last product...
