...player in the front seat of a red convertible that his fans gave him--especially when she won't verify the rumor but doesn't seem perturbed by it.

Industrialization and expanding technology are radically altering the environment and exposing man to growing amounts of harmful pollutants, some of them chemicals that did not exist a century, a decade or even a year or two ago. Result: an increase in many old ailments and the emergence of new ones-all traceable to substances in air, water and food. Says Dr. Irving Selikoff of New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine: "Environmental disease is becoming...
