...completed mid-next year, will make testing unnecessary. Rather than having to carry out hundreds of costly and time-consuming tests for contaminants and speculating on their possible effects, scientists using the "toolbox" will be able to take a much simpler approach, detecting biological effects on, say, fish or water insects and working backward to identify the causes...
...proposing to upgrade Toowoomba's sewage-treatment plant. Leslie thinks objections raised to such schemes in Australia verge on hysteria. "I can't fathom anyone in their right mind saying they wanted to drink sewage," he says. "But drinking highly treated water is a completely different kettle of fish." Given that desalination also uses reverse osmosis-a process so precise it can remove chemicals and contaminants at the molecular level-to convert sea water to potable water, Leslie can't understand why the same technology, when combined with another disinfecting process using ultraviolet light and peroxide, is distrusted for purifying...
...lamps hint at the building's origins as the 1920s residence of the British consul general. Then meander through the French Concession's sycamore-lined streets to my favorite hole-in-the-wall eatery, Jishi, on Tianping Road. Adventurous eaters can dig their chopsticks into Jishi's signature braised fish head nestled in deep-fried scallions.

...THAT GOT AWAY HOWELL RAINES "There is," Raines tells us, "nothing as gone, as utterly lost to us, nothing as definitely absent and irretrievable as a lost fish." This from a man who lost one of the biggest fish in media, executive editorship of the New York Times, after the infamous Jayson Blair scandal. In this easy chair of a book, Raines, frank, engaging and not entirely without rancor, hops nimbly from the newsroom to such remote waters as the Kola Peninsula in Russia and the seas around tiny Christmas Island. "Howell eats gunpowder for breakfast," one Times reporter says...
