...extracted the concessions at a time when the company's profits for 1995 and 1996 totaled $11.8 billion. To put that figure in context, it would be enough money to run the West Carrollton schools, where most Moraine children attend classes, for the next 400 years. As 1997 gave way to 1998, GM dangled the possibility of yet another plant before the Moraine city fathers, and they jumped. This time the tax relief amounts to an estimated $28 million--or about $156,000 for each of the 180 new jobs to be created...
Fifteen-year-old Alex McClendon was the classic new kid in town.

...believes that most surface water is now contaminated with the parasite. "It's so widespread," he observes, "that you just can't keep it out." In 1984 the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control investigated several outbreaks in day-care centers in five states. In 1987 an outbreak in Carrollton, Georgia, made 13,000 people absolutely miserable. Two Oregon towns, Medford and Talent, experienced an outbreak last year. In all, 21 million Americans who drink unfiltered water from lakes and rivers may be at risk...
