...Delhi recorded ^ its hottest day in more than 40 years in June; Rome last week had its hottest day of this century. Torrential rains have become so severe in Hong Kong that meteorologists coined a new term -- black rainstorm alert -- to signal their approach. Weather-related losses at Lloyd's of London are staggering. Says underwriter Richard Keeling: "From what we have experienced over the past four or five years, we have either been very unlucky or things are getting worse out there...
...population; the question above is from a Mensa test, but SAT scores or any standard I.Q. test score will do. Mensa says it provides a "stimulating intellectual and social environment for its members."

...public and private that have blown large holes in the listing hulk of fellow Democrat Bill Clinton's economic package. Moynihan is not a conventional party leader. The Hill's loyal opposition has whispered that he is "chairman by fluke." Even Democrats were stunned when former committee chairman Lloyd Bentsen accepted the job as Secretary of the Treasury, which moved Moynihan to the mountaintop, an unproven leader. In fact, Moynihan is the Senate's most eccentric, brilliant and fearless purveyor of uncomfortable truth. He has probably shaped as much national social and economic policy in his 32 years in Washington...
