The five principals are Gregg Pasquarelli and his wife Kimberly Holden plus William and Coren Sharples, who are also husband and wife, and William's identical-twin brother Christopher. All of them are graduates of the Columbia University architecture program. Four of them were in the same 1994 graduating class. Three of them have the same birthday. (You can guess two of those...

That's cause for concern as American farmers plant increasing amounts of corn, a crop that requires heavy fertilizer, to meet the growing global demand for grain and to supply America's corn-hungry ethanol makers. According to a separate study published by University of British Columbia and University of Wisconsin researchers this week in the Proceedings of the National Journal of Sciences, ethanol is directly linked to the Gulf of Mexico dead zone. If farmers produced enough corn to meet the congressional goal of producing 15 billion gallons of ethanol by 2022, nitrogen runoff into the Gulf...
