Last summer's drought has produced not only a stunted harvest but also a toxic side effect: a bumper crop of aflatoxin, a fungus-based, cancer-causing corn contaminant. It has turned up in livestock feed corn (although not the sweet corn so dear to the American palate) in nine major corn-producing states. The Illinois Department of Agriculture says a third of the crop samples tested show aflatoxin above permissible levels. But by blending the current crop with grain from uncontaminated past harvests, the corn can be used. Moreover, the Food and Drug Administration has cleared...
...first global alliance among major international carriers. For up to $50 million, SAS will buy a 10% stake in Texas Air and gain greater access to the U.S. market by leasing the rights to three of Continental's 41 gates at New Jersey's Newark airport. Each airline will feed passengers into the other's route systems and share some ground crews and training centers. Said Lorenzo: "It's an ideal marriage...

This is a mutual- admiration society, where singers feed off plaudits from their peers. The moment in the lights is everything. "Barbershopping is Broadway," a Dallas voice points out. "You've made it here. Guys who didn't know they could carry a tune outside the shower -- everybody is a star...
...last month, another change took place that may speed up MCAD's processes--the agency automated the filing of complaints. MCAD staff members now feed a complaint directly into computers in the intake room, instead of typing up forms. The new system cuts down on processing time, making it easier for an investigator to check the status of a case or keep track of new information. "It could save up to three weeks in clearing cases out of here," Morris says...
What is unfortunate is that television and the daily newspapers, forced to produce a Bush and Dukakis story each day, feed the illusion that the candidates are conducting a dialogue with the electorate. Sound bites aside, little that either contender is saying provides a fresh glimpse of what he might do in office. Bush's two major recent policy addresses -- on the environment and on foreign-policy goals -- were recycled versions of earlier speeches gussied up with new applause lines. Dukakis won front-page headlines for his innovative, if poorly detailed, proposal to allow college students to repay their loans...
