...little over an hour from Boston, across from an elementary school in the heart of Fairhaven, Mass., sits the Atlas Tack Company. More than 7,000 people live within a mile of Atlas. More than 15,000 live within three miles. And for more than twenty years, Atlas released cyanide, arsenic and other toxic solvents into an adjacent marsh. Then in 1990, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials finally put the site on their National Priorities List for cleanup under the Superfund program—a landmark initiative from 1980 that used to force polluters to pay for the damage they...

"Exercising keeps you in the best possible physical and mental condition," Fitzpatrick says...

Alfred Raulet of Fairhaven, Mass., lost $5,000 of his personal savings and $6,500 in unemployment benefits when his new wholesale seafood business went under for lack of customer orders, which the 50-year-old attributes to the slowdown in the economy. He is currently unemployed...
