...very distinctive infra-red "fingerprint." Thus, by the color variations in photos, future ERTS satellites could quickly detect any large-and possibly dangerous -change in the chlorophyll content of ocean plankton, a principal source of the world's oxygen supply.

...right and reason to remind the Japanese that they must pull their weight. Under the threat of another trade and monetary crisis, they are at last realizing that they cannot continue piling up vast trade surpluses and treat development aid as a kind of export promotion.

...response as soon as possible"--curves upward on the page in a rising sweep of alarm. A March 2 SDS contribution to this anthology was either typed on a Brobdingnagian typewriter or was blown up by the editors--a marvellous expression of their subconscious wish, though they themselves warn SDS in their introduction not "to advertise its wish as fact"--to approximately three times its normal size, perhaps in search of a visual equivalent to SDS's electromegaphonic mode of verbal communication...
