Vladimir Orlov, a deputy director of treasury at Tokobank, the largest cash dealer in Russia, says, "Russians tend to react automatically; they say, 'My neighbor has already exchanged, so I should.' I am sure Russians will literally rush to exchange their 'inferior' old bills as soon as the new bill is introduced to the market." They also worry about counterfeit bills, and that is another reason for racing to acquire the new notes. The fears may be exaggerated, however. While the press reports that one-sixth of the U.S. currency that circulates in Russia is fake, a recent study...
That is crucial, observes David Des Marais, a NASA biogeochemist. Liquid water is an ideal medium in which carbon-based organic chemicals can dissolve and react with one another in myriad ways. Why carbon, necessarily? Because, says Des Marais, "it is such a versatile chemical. It makes so many different and complex compounds. And it's the fourth most abundant element in the universe." Carbon compounds literally litter the cosmos, drifting through interstellar space in giant molecular clouds and making up a significant percentage, by mass, of comets and asteroids. Some scientists are convinced that the basic building blocks...
...from the detonations," reports TIME's Bruce Crumley from Paris.

...countries, for example, the European Union, with a gdp roughly equivalent to America's, spends some $31 billion a year and the U.S. $9 billion. I think that the one who pays is the one who has the political power in the final analysis. I hope President Clinton will react against this alarming tendency toward a sort of isolationism that is very dangerous for the whole world...
