Few bankers and economists are ready to predict that Federal Reserve policy will shift any time soon toward stiffer interest rates, even though the Fed views the dollar's weakness as an important constraint on U.S. monetary policy...
...doctoral candidate at the University of California at Berkeley, Lawson has since found the remains of two more pterosaurs. The fossils may help settle old scientific questions about pterosaurs. Many of these great flying reptiles lived near the shore, leading paleontologists to conclude that they fed on fish. But Lawson's fossils were found in nonmarine sediments far from any seas. In fact, Lawson writes in Science, the pterosaurs may well have been carrion eaters, using their long necks to probe the carcasses of dead dinosaurs...

A fed eral grand jury indicted 3M, Hansen and Cross on charges of tax fraud. That case is still pending. Unpaid taxes on the illegal contributions could cost 3M as much as $9 million...
Full Diet. Then the algae-enriched water is fed into the middle pond, where the microscopic plants provide feed for tiny crustaceans called daphnids, or water fleas. Finally, water containing fleas and algae flows back into the bottom tank, where it provides a full diet for the tilapia. Nothing is wasted: in the warm greenhouse space above the ponds, the new alchemists grow vegetables even in the dead of the New England winter. The plants are fertilized by the nutrient-laden fish water. To protect their harvests against bugs, the scientists have brought insect-eating frogs, spiders and chameleons instead...

Despite the book's length, Safire's sprightly style keeps the story moving. The man who fed Spiro Agnew such alliterations as "nattering nabobs of negativism" strains to avoid cliches, and the struggle is often entertaining...
