...claims, neither the EPA nor the local air quality district nor the Orange County Fire Authority-the three agencies Clark names in his letter-had any standing beef with the company. While the EPA warned Clark in April 2004 that the factory was not in compliance with some Clean Air Act safety standards, "he did everything he had to do (to comply)," said Mark Merchant, spokesman, of the EPA. The other agencies are equally surprised. The more likely reason for Clark's decision are the few lawsuits from former employees related to TDI ailments, including one suit filed...
...government of Prime Minister Tony Blair has tried to clean up the mess by introducing a change even its supporters acknowledge is paradoxical: extending the hours that pubs and bars can stay open. The 11:30 p.m. closing time, imposed during World War I to ensure that munitions workers could function by breakfast, has always encouraged pub crawlers to toss 'em down fast before last call.

Its backers argue that longer hours would encourage a more relaxed and responsible drinking...
...touted by CSR, in his opinion, come just as easily if markets are left to run freely.

Bottled-water producers say they are being unfairly singled out. The Maine and Michigan proposals "penalize an industry that is producing a clean, safe, healthy product," says Stephen Kay, spokesman for the International Bottled Water Association. He notes that bottled water accounts for less than 1% of the groundwater used every year. Irrigation is by far the biggest user. "That's true but irrelevant," says Peter Gleick, president of the Pacific Institute, a water research group in Oakland, Calif. Any large groundwater withdrawal from one site risks drying up wells and wetlands in that area, he says...
...Hampshire's 1968 Democratic presidential primary. But EUGENE MCCARTHY, who died last week at 89 in Washington, had scared the sitting President by articulating a principled opposition to the Vietnam War and corralling enough idealists to turn vexation into votes. Thousands of the scruffy young went Clean for Gene, proselytizing in New Hampshire, then in Wisconsin, where the Minnesota Senator won, 57% to 35%. That humiliation persuaded Johnson to quit the race...
