McLaughlin is somewhat of a Surge connoisseur herself. "I drink about one a day. But the count goes up when I run out of Mountain Dew. Then it's three or four times a day." By way of explanation, she offers, "I guess I like lemon-lime caffeine things." Gomez-Trochez also consumes the beverage on a fairly regular, though less frequent schedule. "Every time I have to pull an all-nighter or orgo problem set...so one every two weeks on average." And as for the side-effects McLaughlin describes? Gomez-Trochez only notices that he is "peeing...

The alternative--a plan to clean the waters with a standard lime-precipitation technique--has its own problems: critics warn that it could leave the community in the shadow of a mountain of toxic sludge as high as the lake is deep...
...knows you know all about the uneasy U.N. The French and Russians want Saddam's oil. The U.S. and Britain want his weapons. Kuwait wants his head. The Saudis can't decide, and the Chinese don't seem to care. Everybody wanted Harry Lime, too. But to get him, you have to choose a side. It gets ugly...
