SUMMER FOCUS (ABC, 10-11 p.m.). "Take a Deep, Deadly Breath" measures the mounting air pollution in U.S. cities and outlines steps to combat it. ABC's Peter Jennings discusses the crisis with Surgeon General William H. Stewart and rides a carbon monoxide-analyzing truck through New York City...

By comparing the amount of radioactive carbon 14 in a fossil with the amount contained in a living counterpart, for example, paleontologists determine when the fossil was part of a functioning organism. Using similar methods, scientists date meaningful objects as old as 3.5 billion years...
