That may be overstating the situation, but what is clear is that the cleanup is under way. Lawmakers in a dozen states have introduced bills to ban the sale of junk food in schools. Some districts have gone organic, while others bake fries and skin chicken. Anti-tobacco lawyers, who gave advice for a suit against McDonald's filed by a group of obese New York teens (see box), are threatening similarly aggressive actions against a school board near you. Congress is gearing up to take a hard look at school meals when it reauthorizes the $6.4 billion government-funded...

...hope it also will miss Spain's Las Islas Cies national park, the Aquarium Finisterre complex and other areas of great biodiversity. Out at sea, meanwhile, slicks break up and recongeal, changing in size, shape and number, making it difficult to gauge the exact scale of the spillage.

...prepare set menus, which varied each day. A sample meal in one of his courses, enough to serve six people: sauteed breast of chicken with prosciutto and mozzarella cheese, maple-glazed carrots and garlic mashed potatoes. Meal preparation was done by about 12:30 p.m., followed by lunch and cleanup. Next was a beer-or wine-tasting class and dinner at a CIA restaurant. The day ended about 8 p.m. "This was a great learning experience at this point in my life; I don't think that I would have appreciated it as much when I was 30," says Bethel...
