...news has caused consternation in Europe, where GM food has become a particularly hot issue, with environmentalists concerned about the modified fish's potential impact on wildlife. They say that although the experimental fish are bred to be sterile, one mistake - one fish that escapes - could ruin wild populations. The GM fish are known to have a lower egg-survival rate, weaker muscle structure and poorer swimming performance than normal salmon. But the economic arguments seem sure to outweigh the environmental ones. "After all, we've practically fished out our oceans already," says TIME science writer Frederic Golden...

...local companies. But Hayes, watchdog Smith contends, was put in the agency by Gore mainly "as a placeholder until he popped up the other side, once Gore needed some real fund raising." An earthy, onetime insurance man from Sideview, Tenn., Hayes mounted his 1962 pickup and drove Gore from fish fry to cattle show during his first congressional race, 24 years ago.

...avoid being sued: no one gets food poisoning from overcooked meals. And I'm not sure I would fully trust rare meat in such a situation of mass handling anyway. But the next time, dear reader, you find yourself in a quality restaurant, try ordering rare. Or order fish cheeks, if you can--possibly the best-tasting part of the fish. Even better yet: order tripe or liver...
