Unhappily, the system sounds better than it smells. To begin with, most of the production's 31 odors will probably seem phony, even to the average uneducated nose. A beautiful old pine grove in Peking, for instance, smells rather like a subway rest room on disinfectant day. Besides, the odors are strong enough to give a bloodhound a headache. What is more, the smells are not always removed as rapidly as the scene requires: at one point the audience distinctly smells grass in the middle of the Gobi Desert...
Rafael del Pine, 33, of Miami, Fla., a Cuban-born naturalized U.S. citizen wounded by police bullets in his capture last July, went on trial with Luciano Lineras Gastell, who was a Havana policeman during Fulgencio Batista's dictatorship...

Amid the gently rolling countryside of Beltsville, Md., there is a strange garden that would drive any weekend horticulturist to distraction. Among the odd sights: pine trees that grow only 8 in. tall, chrysanthemums that flower in spring instead of fall, poinsettias that bloom in June's heat instead of Christmastime cold. But these plant anomalies are manmade. For U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists have discovered the mysterious chemical in plants that regulates plant growth, have found that they can stunt trees at their pleasure, make flowers bloom when they choose...
...findings, Beltsville's men dosed plants with red light at all hours of the night. Fooling plants into believing the nights were longer or shorter than they really were seasonally, the scientists were able to make plants bloom months early or late. They have so efficiently programed some pine trees that they grew only 8 in. in four years-responding to the signal that it is winter, no time for growth-while their unmolested neighbors rose...
