...Oil refining, coal liquefaction and other related industrial processes depend on chemists' being able to manipulate the complex molecules known as hydrocarbons. George Olah of the University of Southern California discovered in the 1960s how to slow down -- and thus control -- hydrocarbon reactions by supercooling them. His work led directly to the development of higher-octane gasoline -- and earned him this year's Chemistry Prize...
Fortunately, he will get some economic help. The international trade embargo, enforced in June 1993, officially ended on Sunday. Even before the President took command, shipments of oil and gas were on their way to Haiti. Relief is also trickling back in, the beginning of what will eventually become a deluge of assistance. In the next 12 to 15 months, the United Nations plans to give $555 million. The U.S. is setting up a jobs program that in theory will put 50,000 Haitians to work by 1995.

Which is why, as Cheney says, leaving Saddam in Iraq is "messy" but removing him might be "worse...
...once you're there, stick to items that are baked, broiled, blackened, grilled or steamed. Seafood that's fried or covered with rich sauce isn't just high in fat -- it's high in artery-clogging fat, because many seafood restaurants, like Red Lobster, fry fish in partially hydrogenated oil, the group says. The center is the same group that said Chinese, Mexican and Italian food are no-nos for those watching their fat grams...
