...Watching the annual military parade in Red square last week, Western observers spotted two new weapons. One was an intercontinental ballistic missile that they immediately dubbed "Rudolph" because of red paint on the nose of the warhead. The other was a small tank, armed with a rocket launcher, which can be airlifted and dropped with airborne troops...
...wrong with a show has gone wrong with this musical. The score sticks in your ear like wax. The lyrics consist of ditties that a fifth-grader would not dare to pass in to his English teacher. The star (Kay Ballard) spins through her numbers like a treadless tank. She lacks the remotest trace of that sweetly enveloping maternal musk with which Gertrude Berg so winningly invested her creation, Molly Goldberg, in the vastly popular radio and TV serials spanning the years 1929-1954. Alan Arkin has directed the show the way a bartender jiggles a martini shaker, apparently hoping...
...Cambridge overflow, flooding the river with raw sewage. There are a number of plans for over $16 million worth of new collector sewers and new treatment plants, including one for storm overflows near the B.U. Bridge which will include a huge, one-and-a-half million gallon holding tank. But the new facilities probably won't solve the problem completely...
...electronic antidote may also be found for the new antitank missiles. One U.S. Army systems analyst insists that missiles will no more make the tank obsolete than the invention of the machine gun made the infantryman obsolete. The mechanized unit, which includes tanks, will still be needed to provide armies with speed, firepower and shock action on the ground.

...coal smoke. Then the gases are routed into a device called a scrubber, where they bubble through a caustic-soda solution; chemical reaction between the SO2 and the soda produces two salts, sodium sulfite and sodium sulfate, that are pumped from the scrubber in waste liquids into tanks. There, lime and calcium carbonate are added. The resulting calcium salts settle to the bottom of the tanks, are removed and buried as safe landfill. The remaining liquid flows into another tank where it is treated with chemicals to create more caustic-soda solution for the scrubber-and the process begins anew...
