...stream of can't-see-'em pollutants like nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and mercury. Inside, giant HEPA filters (which look just like a nest of vacuum bags) grab most of the solids from the coal fire. You wouldn't want to eat off the floor, but the place is clean. Even the open-pit-mining operation nearby--which has scoured 15,000 acres of Texas for lignite coal over the decades--is a reclamation model, boasting ponds with bass and new woods with baby deer.

Along the way, he inspired thousands of ordinary citizens to begin picking up, too. Today, Fuji is far cleaner, and with the toilets at all 48 locations...
...since Foley dropped out of the race last Friday - felled by the growing scandal over inappropriate e-mails he sent to young congressional pages - Mahoney suddenly appears to have all but won a seat that had come to look like a G.O.P. birthright. "I'm going to work to clean up cronyism and corruption in Congress," Mahoney tells TIME, sounding already like a victor in a hotel ballroom, "and work to bring rationality back to the way it does things...
