Studios have shown that animals are more likely to get cancer if they easels than the normal selenium--which originates in the soil and enters the diet through food chain...
...other archaeological rescue of such magnitude had been attempted since UNESCO's raising of the Egyptian temple of Abu Simbel in 1966 to protect it from the floodwaters of the Aswan dam. Consultants from a variety of disciplines, from architecture to soil mechanics, concluded that halfway measures would no longer do; a major rebuilding had to be undertaken. To arrest the "stone cancer," as experts call it, the temple's entire middle section was removed, a job comparable to taking out the center of a layer cake without causing a collapse. With the help of a computer contributed...
...modern measures, George Washington did not read the right books. He relished how-to-do-it texts, with their new ideas on the use of manure, turning soil and animal husbandry.

It was the beginning of yet another major effort to drive enemy forces from Iranian soil, seize Iraqi territory in return, and ultimately bring down the regime of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Although the offensive apparently failed to score any immediate breakthrough, it was clear that another grim and bloody chapter in the 2½-year-old Persian Gulf war was in the making...
