...plastic bottles are recyclable. We make all our small plastic containers in-house and don't truck them to our plants. What's needed most, though, are recycling programs for all plastic food and beverage containers. Kim Jeffery, President and CEO Nestlé Waters North America Greenwich, Connecticut...
...other cases - the Mianus River Bridge in Connecticut (three dead in 1983) or the Silver Bridge, spanning the Ohio River between Ohio and West Virginia (46 dead in 1967) - the cause is far more subtle. The former was triggered by metal fatigue in a single steel pin: when it finally failed, the loss of support transferred excess stress on other parts, which couldn't handle it, failing in turn. The latter was finally traced, again, to a single piece of metal, which had been forged with a tiny, unnoticed crack that weakened further with corrosion...

Michael Friedman, who retired last month as the Connecticut-based company's president, lawyer Howard Udell and former chief medical officer Dr. Paul Goldenheim had pleaded guilty in May, in return for accepting the fine. The surprise from today's ruling was the inclusion of the community service penalty - each man will have to serve his 400 hours working in drug abuse prevention or treatment, which would amount two and a half months of 40-hour work weeks spent fulfilling the sentence...
