...OFFICES OF LIFE DYNAMICS, INC., SEEM ANYTHING BUT DYNAMIC. L.D.I. is located in a drab brick building in Denton, Texas, a few blocks away from the Howdy Doody Drive-In Grocery. Inside, the office has the businesslike air of a real estate brokerage--yet it soon becomes clear that there's a political passion here you won't find on display at Century 21. At L.D.I. coffee is served in mugs that read ABORTION STOPS A BEATING HEART. A smiling young man sitting in front of a word processor, one soon learns, was once arrested for his role...
...fraud charges. Then the special prosecutor's team investigating Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy's relationship with Tyson Foods met with the Whitewater investigators. Now a former chief lending officer for the S&L at the heart of the scandal has been named as a possible co-conspirator. HARRY DON DENTON was angered at the charge and told TIME: "I have given the independent counsel incredible amounts of information. If they're going after some big guns, they're gonna need...
...number of theories have been floated to explain these irregular, rapid variations. The leading one, advanced by Lamont-Doherty's Wallace Broecker and George Denton of the University of Maine, involves a kind of cyclic ocean current that has been likened to a conveyer belt. Broecker and Denton note that a stream of unusually salty (and thus especially dense) water flows underneath the Gulf Stream as it moves from the tropics to the North Atlantic. When this salty stream reaches the far north, it is forced to the surface as water above it is blown aside by the winds...
...this current, argue Broecker and Denton, that keeps the Arctic relatively warm and glacier free. When it stops running, an ice age -- or a cold spike -- begins. What causes a turnoff? An influx of fresh water might do it, by diluting the saltiness and density of the current, preventing it from sinking and heading back to the tropics. There is evidence that at just the time the Younger Dryas began, a huge North American lake (which no longer exists) began dumping Amazonian quantities of fresh water into the North Atlantic. The discharge stopped about 1,000 years later...
...nearly two years, the Clintons have explained their business partnership with the McDougals' Whitewater development by claiming they were simply passive investors. As Hillary's law practice shows, however, she was more involved with Whitewater and Madison Guaranty than she has let on. According to Denton, some of Bill Clinton's dealings appear rather tangled as well. ) Denton says that in 1978, while he was an officer of Union Bank in Little Rock, he made out a personal loan of roughly $25,000 to Clinton and McDougal to help pay for Whitewater acreage. Denton recalls that within two years...
