Meanwhile, the Louisiana debacle has apparently taught Hickel that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of indemnity. Hickel issued a stern warning to Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik, a German company that plans to build a petrochemical complex on an unpolluted saltwater estuary near the lush island resort of Hilton Head, S.C. In a letter to Hans Lautenschlager, president of B.A.S.F.'s American af filiate, Hickel made it clear that he would not tolerate any pollution. "This department," he wrote, "will strenuously oppose any action which would result in the degradation of the water quality in that...
...competing efficiencies. In its crowded and complex society, the goals of individuals often conflict with those of larger groups, making one man's efficiency another man's inefficiency. To take a simple example, the man who drinks soda or beer likes the "one-way bottle." He can drink up and toss it away, rather than return it for a refund. But that little everyday luxury builds up a mountain of hard-to-dispose-of garbage. To the shopkeeper, efficiency means getting merchandise delivered at the start of every business day.

The three are: Hoechst, Farbenfabriken Bayer, and Badische Anilin-& Soda Fabrik. B.A.S.F. recently spent $95 million to buy out Michigan-based Wyandotte Chemicals Corp., the biggest U.S. maker of urethane plastics (1968 sales: $147 million), and it is now putting up $100 million to expand a Wyandotte plant in Louisiana. The firm has also budgeted $200 million to $300 million to build a chemical complex of its own in South Carolina (TIME...
...eyes, the gas station attendant, who had been wiping the adjacent window, was staring at me. He must have been in his mid-fifties. His tight, chalky mouth made a sharp contrast with the shiny brown-black of the bags under his eyes. A faded blue Standard cap, the soda-jerk style, was pulled over his bristly gray hair. He was clearly the veteran of many, many thousands of night-shifts at that gas station...
