...good cigar, especially in those oversizes," says Gregory Mottola, tasting coordinator for Cigar Aficionado magazine. A review of the Hoyo de Monterrey double corona on the website www.topcubans.com raves: "Love at first sight. The beauty of the stick, is matched by it's (sic) paradisiacal even roundness in the smoke. The Hoyo sweet tastes (crushed cacao/coffee, Moroccan leather), give this cigar a childish naughtiness character. This is a smoke full of prestige and smooth class...
...speak or move. "My mind was almost blank. I didn't even hear what was going on," she told an Orange County Register reporter years later. But her husband Paul Heck, 65, reacted immediately. He ordered his wife to get off the plane. She followed him through the smoke "like a zombie," she said. Just before they jumped out of a hole in the left side of the craft, she looked back at her friend Lorraine Larson, who was just sitting there, looking straight ahead, her mouth slightly open, hands folded in her lap.

...once some (nontoxic) smoke started pouring into the cabin, everyone got quiet.

In a crowd of experienced flight attendants, still someone had hit his or her head on an overhead bin. In a new situation, with a minor amount of stress, our brains were performing clumsily.

Oh, yes, he had also been in a serious earthquake as a child in Peru and in several smaller ones in Los Angeles years later. He was, you could say, a disaster expert. And there's nothing like a string of bad luck to prepare you for the unthinkable...
...most part, solutions involved technological fixes—reducing the emissions of pollutants either by pre-treating fuels prior to combustion or by installing devices in the smoke stacks of power plants and factories, or in the tail pipes of cars, to accomplish a similar objective. Alternatively, we opted to switch to less polluting fuels such as natural gas. In either case, the solutions involved increased expense. We have been modestly successful in addressing the issue of air pollution in more affluent societies. It remains serious, however, in large developing countries such as China and India where coal...
