TIME'S story about President Bush's environmental record neglected to report on the consensus in favor of many ambitious Bush Administration initiatives [ENVIRONMENT, Jan. 27]: cutting power-plant pollution 70%, significantly reducing air pollution from diesel engines, a $1 billion program to clean up hazardous waste, $40 billion to fund land and water conservation on America's farmlands, $4.5 billion in tax credits for renewable-energy technology, and a proposal to create the first new wilderness area in more than a decade. You also failed to examine the reasons for the President's Healthy Forests Initiative: the pressing need...
Some drivers in South Wales thought they had found a clever if illegal way to dodge the taxes that push British diesel prices north of $4.50 a gal.: by filling up with vegetable oil at half the cost or, better yet, with used cooking oil from fish-and-chip shops. Filter with methanol, and voila! But undercover cops have begun to sniff out these alternative-fuel users (the exhaust smells like french fries) and nail them for tax evasion.

...effort: GoldenEye, a high-tech, high-speed 1995 hit that proved 007 could compete with the big-bang action pictures while keeping some of his cheeky, retro spirit. Since then, the competition has only got brasher and more explosive, with plenty of pretenders to the throne--most recently, Vin Diesel's XXX, a postmodern grunge Bond who traded in his tux for tattoos. Says XXX director Rob Cohen: Bond "never learns anything ... He doesn't do much of anything except be titanium and eternally stuck in a time capsule...
