Evaluation of the operational status and management of land treatment units used to treat oily, organic waste mixtures requires detailed information on the biochemical degradation process.To date no acceptable uniform analytical methodology has been available to track the degradation of materials applied to the soil matrix. This proposed analytical method has been designed to meet this information requirement. It presents new insight into monitoring active land treatment units and may be useful to demonstrate the reduction, removal, transformation, and immobilization of the organic constituents of the waste applied to the treatment unit.

The urban revolution, the social effects of the population explosion, concentration in huge cities, and the mobility of modern society all tend to make people regard themselves as insignificant and helpless. You have to understand many such things in order to think logically about social disorganization and its ugliest manifestation—crime. I wonder about the four-martini expense account lunch, the lost weekend in suburbia, the divorce rate, and the indications of immorality I see in widespread cheating of the tax system. What does all this mean to crime? Crime can be successfully combated only through a joining of forces by all the leadership elements who are interested in adjusting the nation to its new growth. This will involve an expansion of both public and private services. It will demand a new approach, one calling for total social planning and far more coordination than has so far been attempted. It may also require new social units within the urban mass— small communities of some sort that can retain human individ uality and personal responsibility.
