...scavenged for supplies, gathering bales of hay for the walls and sheets of acrylic for the roof. "When they started on the house, I told people that the cows would eat up my house," Alberta Bryant jokes, recalling her nervousness about having her home constructed from stuccoed-over livestock fodder. Yet six years later, the building is still sturdy. The translucent overhang filtering light onto the porch's yellow columns and the cavernous green Quonset-hut-shaped rooms jutting from the back make the house a cool place to relax during a lazy afternoon...
Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, is a hopeless romantic who writes a sex column for the New York Star. Her style is eclectic, her addiction to nicotine wands make smoking look glamorous, and her and her friends' sex lives provide great fodder for her columns.

...continuing flap over Bt corn and cotton--now grown not only in the U.S. but also in Argentina and China--has provided more fodder for debate. Bt stands for a common soil bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis, different strains of which produce toxins that target specific insects. By transferring to corn and cotton the bacterial gene responsible for making this toxin, Monsanto and other companies have produced crops that are resistant to the European corn borer and the cotton bollworm. An immediate concern, raised by a number of ecologists, is whether or not widespread planting of these crops will spur the development...
