New Alchemists' Cape Cod Ark Aims to Save Humanity
On a 12 acre Cape Cod plot two dozen scientists build a self sustaining ark using wind powered pumps solar heating and a three pond fish and algae system. They envision urban and suburban adoption though experts doubt large scale feasibility. The project led by Join Todd of the New Alchemy Institute claims a human scaled approach can sustain families with tilapia and algae fertilized water.

Last bastion of sweat swearing maleness on rails
A Chessie System track gang camped in Virginia, about 80 workers aged from teens to veterans, labor through rain as they convert track to welded rails. Foreman Robert Harris notes long trips, strict camp life, and a mixed mood about weather, pay, and family life amid a military style hierarchy and evolving-age tensions.
