The Russians are considering blasting a deep channel that would divert water from the Pechora River to the nearby Kama River, which flows into the Caspian Sea. That linkup, engineers anticipate, would increase the amount of water supplied to the Caspian Sea, which has dropped nearly ten feet in the past 35 years, affecting docking facilities, caviar-producing sturgeon and even the local climate...
TEXAS' 3,350-mile tidal shoreline is dotted with oil refineries and chemical plants. So bad is industrial pollution along the Houston Ship Channel-a 50-mile-long passage from Houston to the Gulf-and in Galveston Bay that the Environmental Protection Agency openly attacked the Texas Water Quality Board last June.

When a young colleague is murdered, Favenin cracks. With deranged courage, he preempts the entire legal profession-cop, lawyer, judge, jury, executioner-and runs the gang to earth, ritualistically following the sanguinary vitality of the ancient Warner Bros, gangster movies...
