This unsettling phenomenon is by no means unique to the auto industry. It is occurring more and more as the U.S. persuades foreign countries to accept import limits on textiles, machine tools, sugar, meat and carbon steel, among other items. As pressure for more trade legislation builds this year in Congress, a growing number of economists and legislators have concluded that there must be a better way to run a quota system...
...John, is an unlikely combination '60s burn-out/Valley Girl who giggles a lot. Ashford is cynical as Ken, but little else. The character of Jed remains to be written. His few lines merely supply the plants hanging from the Old Library's rafters with an occasional dose of carbon dioxide, which is essential to their well-being...
...instance, to anyone with a flair for chemistry, understanding the meanings of most terms found on the outside of commercially-packaged food or health-care products pose little problem. Partially hydrogenated soybean oil is simply oil extracted from soybeans, which contains several double-bonded carbon atoms per molecule, that has been reacted with hydrogen and a catalyst. This process breaks some of the double bonds, enabling a few more of the carbon atoms to accept electrons from the hydrogen. Partial or complete hydrogenation is performed to make a substance remain solid at higher temperatures...

...that lush forests could have grown so far north indicates that the climate there was once far more hospitable. In fact, scientists have long known that during the early part of the Tertiary period, which began about 65 million years ago, the entire planet was warmer, probably due to carbon dioxide that spewed into the atmosphere during movements of the earth's crust. The result was a greenhouse effect, in which the excess carbon dioxide, like the windows of a greenhouse, trapped the heat of sunlight...
