...Within the lifetime of one generation, science has realized and overpassed every age-old dream of humanity to which it has applied itself. Why are we so reluctant to use science to achieve a longer and healthier life; maybe to live for centuries, so that we can see all the wonders that we so glibly talk about? Who can say today that we could...
...make a ridiculous example of the Safety Board's statistics by converting their figures to fatalities per 1,000,000 flights. We can say, within reason, that the average flight for the bigs nets 50,000 passenger-miles and that the average flight for the littles nets 100 passenger-miles. The bigs then fly 2,000 flights for 100 million passenger-miles, and the littles fly 1,000,000 flights for 10 million passenger-miles. The bigs are therefore killing 125 people per 1,000,000 flights while the littles are killing only 7.65 people...

Almost every week now brings new warnings of impending ecological upsets within our planet's infinitely interdependent chain of life processes: certain birds becoming extinct, hauls of inedible fish, mysterious animal sickness. Environment will tackle, for example, the effects of such forms of pollution as DDT pesticides and radioactive waste, chemical fertilizers and hot water from nuclear power reactors; it will explore the cacophony of modern noises...
...immediately if they were thinking of the girl. Not only would Mary Jo's body have been recovered faster, but her life might conceivably have been saved. Though only the slimmest of possibilities existed, there is a chance that an air bubble might have remained for a brief time within the submerged vehicle, giving the girl moments of life. If a bubble formed, it would have been in the car's rear, which was higher in the water than the heavy front end. Mary Jo's body was, in fact, found in the back seat, although she presumably had been...
...that time, Boggs had in mind a depletion figure of 22%, but he still had to negotiate with Ohio's Charles Vanik, leader of the reform movement within the committee. Vanik wanted to make it 15%. They compromised...
