...bill goes far beyond existing government and state laws on air-quality control. In its present form, it sets national standards for ten air contaminants like carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide. Polluting industries would have to meet these standards in about five years. The bill also requires the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to prohibit hazardous emissions (asbestos, cadmium, mercury and beryllium) not covered by the air-quality standards. It orders new industrial plants to install antipollution devices, denies Government contracts to companies that violate air standards, and allows private citizens to sue polluting industries and individuals...
...been there only a year when Ebony Publisher John Johnson offered him the editorship of Negro Digest. The publication had been founded in 1942 as a carbon copy of the Reader's Digest, just as Ebony imitated LIFE, and Jet, another Johnson publication, was a black substitute for Coronet. Despite such well-Digested features as "My Most Humiliating Jim Crow Experience," the imitation collapsed in 1951. To keep abreast of the new black militancy, Johnson revived it ten years later and turned it over to Fuller...

The validity of this question would become clear if we could set ourselves apart for a few minutes and look at Homo sapiens as just another animal species. Then ask ourselves if humans became extinct tomorrow, who would miss them? The birds, the fish or the caribou? Would it be more likely only the rats and the disease bacteria that are able to live...
...Another used bikini-clad girls to dispense 10,000 servings of ice cream to passersby. While the streets were enlivened by antiwar protesters, beggars and robed Buddhist monks, news cameramen recorded the scene from helicopters whirring about in the suddenly clear blue skies. At street level, concentrations of lethal carbon monoxide dropped from 10.5 parts per million...
...warm air kept heated air below from escaping. And what air! The city's brisk winds stopped dead; the sky darkened. Oxidants, caused by the reaction of nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons to sunlight, became a major addition to the city's usual outpourings of sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and tiny particles of lead, asbestos and other suspended matter. Day after day the city's Department of Air Resources reported pollution levels ranging between "unhealthy" and "unsatisfactory." SO2 levels hit .23 parts per million parts of air at some points around the city, compared with the federal emissions...
