...THIS NECESSARY? The rich are more paranoid than the rest of us, which may be why Barney's department store in New York City is selling a $595 coat, left, equipped with a pocket lined with a copper-polyamide-polyurethane shield that protects the owner from harmful cellular-phone emissions. It may also explain why clients of Meurice Dry Cleaners (also in New York) can FedEx their clothes from anywhere in the world so Meurice can clean and FedEx them right back.

...poisons before they reach the danger level, some residents are promoting a new twist on their old livelihood: mining the Berkeley lake. There is growing talk by both local residents and officialdom (scientists and bureaucrats) of seeking to extract perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of zinc, copper, magnesium and other minerals that lie dissolved in the waters. The alternative--a plan to clean the waters with a standard lime-precipitation technique--has its own problems: critics warn that it could leave the community in the shadow of a mountain of toxic sludge as high as the lake...
