...commitment to the American people and they are responding, out comes yet a new round of these outrageous, terrible stories that people plant for political and financial reasons.'' Mrs. Clinton threw herself into her work with fresh vigor, but her husband seemed somber and distracted in private meetings. In public he was unusually careful in his words. ''I just don't want to do anything to prolong this,'' he said. The Spectator article, long on damaging detail but short on corroboration, was based largely on interviews with two Arkansas state troopers, Larry Patterson and Roger Perry, assigned to Clinton...

...oscillating water column successfully generated power during trials outside Port Kembla harbor in June. (A rival system called Pelamis, using 120-m-long hinged cylinders, was successfully tested in Scotland in April.) Once commissioned, Energetech's plant is expected to feed into the local grid enough clean power for 500 homes. Energetech is developing several commercial-scale projects from Israel to Rhode Island. Wave energy, Denniss says, is "more consistent, predictable and concentrated than wind. It's also inexhaustible." Having studied the ocean's power all his life, he's in no doubt that it will soon be turning...
