...government agency that regulates what's in soap-scum spray and other useful items. Digging deep into the site, I did find Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSes) for many P&G products, which are posted by law in factories where they're made, listing information about a cleaner's chemical components and known health effects. The government also has a website--householdproducts.nlm.nih.gov--with a database of household-cleaner MSDSes from a range of manufacturers...
...MSDSes told me more about what we don't know than about what we do. Take Mr. Clean's Ultra All Purpose Cleaner, with ingredients like "surfactant (unspecified)."

One TV ad actually shows a woman hiding some Naira notes in her ample cleavage. "The moisture from the body, food and other fluids allow germs...
...Those who prefer film over digital images should awaken from their chemically induced haze! Digital is faster, cleaner, more versatile and incredibly fun to work with. In the hands of a true cinematographer, digital moviemaking exhibits all the soul, humanity and feeling of a production shot on film. None of those attributes are inherent in film alone but are rather created by the person whose eye is at the viewfinder. Would we believe for a minute that Ansel Adams was sad the day he was able to stop lugging around glass plates in favor of film? William C. Simone Lebanon...
...writers who helped him turn the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones films into the smart, action-packed and interestingly plotted films that we all love.
