From the Old Mole: On the banks of the Mississippi below St. Louis, there are signs warning picnickers not to eat their lunch on or near the banks. The spray from the river contains typhoid, colitis, hepatitis,, diarrhea, saramonella, tuberculosis, and polio. It is an open sewer. If you place a fish in a container of river water, it will die in 60 seconds. Dilute the water 100 times with clear water, and the fish will die in 24 hours...
Widely used to control pest-borne diseases, DDT is now everywhere-the land, the sea, the fat tissues of animals and humans.

Its guidance is self-contained, combining both infra-red (heat-seeking) and radar-homing techniques. The Gabriel hunts down its target at such low levels that it becomes coated with sea spray on long flights. Washington is particularly interested in the fact that the new missile seems to be eminently capable of delivering a nuclear warhead...
...wander, tired of the talk, across the green before the Monument to the reflecting pools. People have gathered and you can hear "Fuck Richard Nixon" echoing back toward the White House. Over the spray of the fountain you see teeshirts and blue jeans sailing into the air. The Yippie cheer explodes and everyone terrorizes the pool, ripping the water in sheets and throwing it to the sky. You push through the crowd, kick off your shoes and join them...
