Breezing In. Because standards vary from state to state and city to city, a strong law in one area can be made a mockery by pollutants from a neighboring community. Chicago has been attempting to police pollution caused by steel plants, but 70% of the steel production in the Chicago area is outside city limits. Since 1963, the Federal Government has been offering $3 for every local dollar spent on voluntary regional-control efforts. Yet, said Johnson last week, "there is not a single effective interstate program in the nation...
...Japan's six largest cities and an urban-industrial complex that produces 67% of its manufactured goods-along with most of the problems of identity and adaptation found in today's Japanese society. Under the chill gaze of sacred Mount Fuji, a man-made morass of concrete, steel and glass belches smoke and grime in a manner quite contradictory to the verses of the 8th century poet Akahito Yamabe, who wrote...
James H. Bedford, 73, a retired psychology professor dying of cancer, in Glendale, Calif., had decided years ago that he wanted his body preserved by freezing for later revival if possible. He had left $4,200 for a steel capsule and for liquid nitrogen to keep his body frozen at about 200° below zero centigrade. When Bedford died on Jan. 12, his physician, Dr. B. Renault Able, began to pack the body in ice. Members of the Cryonics Society of California arrived to help.

With anxious attention now focusing on 1967, early-reporting U.S. corporations are supplying emphatic reminders that 1966, despite a selective year-end slowdown, was the most prosperous year in U.S. history. Items: Bethlehem Steel, in an industry that often seems to roll its profit margins thinner year by year, far outstripped its 3.5% sales increase with a 14% rise in earnings to $171 million. To fatten sales as well, Bethlehem is pushing an invasion of the Midwest with a $500 million expansion of its Burns Harbor plant near Chicago, long a virtual fiefdom of Inland Steel...
...working on a tire whose sidewalls, in the event of a puncture, will fold inward, leaving the tread to form a tight, flexible band around the wheel. Former Chrysler President William C. Newberg's entry may be the most novel of all. The device, called PosiTrac, is a steel rim fixed to the metal wheel inside an ordinary tire, capped with a thick rubber tread. In case of a blowout, the car can be rolled along on the inner rim at up to 30 m.p.h. Newberg claims that with Posi-Trac, which costs $80 a set, "nails, spikes, bullets...
