...Arthur Kuechenmeister retired 13 months ago from his $25,000-a-year job as a tire technologist for Uniroyal, with a sense of serious foreboding. "The worst part of it is the feeling that you're washed up, you're through," he says. "You feel that your life is over with, you're no longer a part of the team, the group.

...year-old artist from Chicago, makes the 30-mile trip between her home and Batavia, Ill. There she enters a large concrete-lined room in the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, takes a seat in what resembles nothing so much as an electric chair, and waits while a technologist helps her don a mask that holds her face totally immobile.

Recent Op-Ed pages have included such bemusingly bizarre articles as an ecological dialogue (in free verse) between Technologist R. Buckminster Fuller and Senator Edmund Muskie and a tense, dramatized first-person account by a white churchman of a late-night subway ride through Harlem...
