...year rule, the Hall of Fame has not yet inducted any artist whose music career started after 1985. But soon the museum will encounter subgenre mania: contemporary rock music expanded exponentially in the '80s and '90s, shooting off one way into hip-hop, another way into alternative, still another into emo. With such a broad definition of rock 'n' roll, the museum may one day find itself struggling to fit acts like N.W.A. and Pavement into one induction ceremony.

Imported products such as the ones studied by the Boston group are a particular problem, since environmental standards around the world are not the same as they are in the U.S. In countries like India, for example, leaded gasoline is still commonly used in cars (in the U.S. it was replaced by unleaded fuel in the 1970s), and the lead from car exhaust can seep into the ground, saturating the soil in which food plants, including those that are dried and ground into spices, are grown.

Last April, the red shirts, staging a similar protest, rioted in several spots around Bangkok, setting buses on fire, attacking the Prime Minister's car, and threatening to blow up a housing project with gas tanker trucks. The government called on the military to restore order, and troops cleared the streets without bloodshed. Conversely, anti-Thaksin demonstrators, called the yellow shirts, invaded and occupied government offices and Bangkok International Airport, shutting it down...
