...something much simpler. In Brazil and Mexico, Coca-Cola is selling soft drinks that contain up to one-third of an adult's entire daily vitamin and mineral requirements and 10% of the protein needs.

...often a means of feeding drug habits. Unable to afford the tools to remove valuable brass plumbing, sinks, bathtubs and refrigerators in abandoned buildings, junkies pour inflammable liquid around the rooms, set a blaze and wait for firemen to chop up the floors, exposing the loot. Then the "mango hunters," as New York cops call them for their practice of reaping a harvest of stolen goods, move in, drag ou the fire-resistant fixtures and sell them -a bathtub is worth $25 on the open market, a wash basin $15.
