...fistful of sugar dissolved in a jug of clean water, the simplest recipe for oral rehydration solution. "To save the life of a person with diarrhea is probably the cheapest health intervention you can think of," says David Sack, an American doctor who is the ICDDR's executive director. Cheap; but nothing like as commonly available as it should be. Oral rehydration has saved the lives of more than 40 million children since it was first put to the test during a cholera outbreak among refugees on India's border with Bangladesh in 1971. But decades later, it remains grossly...

In America, coverage of European domestic politics and issues is usually limited to, alternately, cheap caricatures of EU bureaucratization or breathless accounts of what America might someday resemble if only people would stop voting for Republicans, driving SUVs, and shopping at Wal-Mart...

...municipal recycling depots nationwide. It's hard to measure the scope of the waste-recovery industry--as Szaky says, garbage is only called garbage until enough people want it. But demand for trash is evident in growing markets and rising prices for by-products that used to be dirt cheap, free or off-loaded with a cash kicker--such things as tire chips and crumb rubber, organic waste, even restaurant grease. "Resource recovery is a dynamic industry right now," says Lou Zicari, associate director of the Center for Integrated Waste Management, an offshoot of the State University of New York...
