...without a price. To get big yields, farmers rely on pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers, which can seep below the surface and taint groundwater. That's why Seacrest, 45, launched the Groundwater Foundation, a group that uses everything from publications to educational festivals to teach people about threats to drinking water. Started on a shoestring in 1985 in Lincoln, the foundation has built a national network of activists to protect the fountains of life...

Putting on a show in, above and under water has forced director Franco Dragone and the Cirque staff to create an intricate new technology that allows the pool floor not only to rise and descend but to "breathe"; water can seep through instantly to create a dry stage space. Virtually all the performers had to be scuba-certified, and all are dependent on complex mechanical cues, whose failure could mean injury or worse to the athlete-artistes...
