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...

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.
