...knew about the demonstration was the sign spray-painted on the entrance to the Cambridge Common that says "Presidio 7 -March 24," Last Fall, the Resistance had called for a draft card turn-in on November 14. We had spent many early morning hours hiding from police cars in order to stencil Omegas and "Nov. 14" all over Cambridge- buildings, sidewalks, walls, everywhere. The style was still the same...
...reduce the algae's bacterial food supply, the scientists fumigated the grotto with an aerosol of powerful antibiotics (penicillin, streptomycin and kanamycin). Next, they tackled Palmellococcus itself. They found that a spray of formaldehyde mixed with detergent not only killed the algae-which gradually lost their color-but had no ill effect on the paintings themselves...
...Weather satellites and air spotters began to track locust concentrations and swarms. A system of field scouts was set up in 42 countries to report locust whereabouts. The Anti-Locust Research Center, established in London in 1921, coordinates this information and forecasts locusts' flight direction. Local governments dispatch spray planes to meet the hordes or treat breeding areas...
...locusts devoured 167,000 tons of crops in Ethiopia, starving thousands. Last summer the anti-locust London Center got reports of gathering clouds of locusts that posed an even greater threat. From weather satellite pictures of cloud formations, trackers could map wind patterns. Since locusts ride the winds, spray planes knew where to go. Once they had made contact, they dumped their loads of spray through atomizers, one right after the other, until the swarms were stopped. On the ground, pesticide squads struck breeding areas. The winged locusts were turned back, and the young locusts died before they could develop...
