ACTIVATED-CARBON FILTRATION. These systems are the most popular and the most effective in reducing so-called aesthetic contaminants like chlorine and sediment. Filters made of carbon in solid block form, as opposed to granules, are also highly effective in reducing lead. Systems range from inexpensive pour-through carafes to filters that are mounted on faucets, on countertops or under the sink. Cost...
Unfortunately, none of these systems are worry-free. The instructions for the popular Brita pour-through carafes, for example, tell customers to change the filter every two months or after every 35 gal., whichever comes first. But many people don't count the gallons they use, and if they forget to check the calendar, they can wind up with filtered water that is in worse condition than the stuff that comes from the tap.

Fishermen themselves may have helped spread the disease. More than 80% of the trout caught in Colorado come from hatcheries, and although many of the state's hatcheries are known to be infected, the Division of Wildlife continues to pour its fish into Colorado streams to help maintain what it calls the angler-satisfaction rate. Montana, however, does not stock its streams; authorities suspect the Madison may have become infested when some angler unwittingly dumped infected rainbows into it. The spores can also be carried from stream to stream by boats, outboard motors and even mud on the soles...

He still does no debate prep; he doesn't inhale smooth answers to hard questions so that they will pour out naturally when the moment comes. "We have 26 positions on abortion," complains a close Dole friend. "Every time I hear our answer, it's a new answer...
