...water, according to the CDC, is between 0.7 and 1.2 parts per million. In 1985 political appointees at the EPA raised the acceptable level of fluoride in drinking water to 4 p.p.m., over objections from agency scientists. The Natural Resources Defense Council sued the agency, charging that the safety margin was inadequate, but in 1987 a U.S. district court ruled that the EPA administrators had the authority to set fluoride levels. EPA union representatives reopened the issue in August, calling on EPA administrator Stephen Johnson to issue a moratorium on fluoridation and to set a goal of zero fluoride...
...don’t have, quite honestly, as much team speed or game-breakers as we did three weeks ago or a year ago,” Murphy said. “So therefore we just don’t have much margin for error.” The biggest change, though, came from the quarterback position. O’Hagan still had moments that surely made his coaches grip their clipboards in white-knuckled terror. When he dropped back to pass on a third-and-long conversion attempt, you could practically see the Lafayette defensive backs licking their chops...

Some ridiculous shows survive on the WB, simply because if you make it, and make it with a couple of cute boys, they will watch. Kevin Costner’s career is rolling in its grave, but it’s true...
...Merkel, the resolution of what Germans had come to call "the Chancellor's War" comes as a relief. She had been widely expected to win the election outright until the final days before the vote, and the the final result, which gave her party just a four-seat margin over Schroeder's Social Democrats, came as a severe disappointment. Having to hammer out an agreement with the Social Democrats means that she will have to water down some of her more ambitious free-market-oriented policies. Still, the chancellorship is a major accomplishment for the daughter of a Lutheran pastor...
