...when an electric current -- which is simply a stream of moving electrons -- flows in a conductor, electrons move from empty slot to empty slot in the outer shells of the atoms. A material like rubber, on the other hand, is an insulator: it consists largely of atoms with completely filled, stable outer shells. Thus when voltage is applied, electrons have no empty slots to move into, and no current flows...
...started to raise and train sled dogs. She and her husband David L. Monson now own a kennel of 150 dogs in their Alaskan home. They live in a log cabin, 12 x 16 feet, without running water. Butcher melts ice in the winter, draws water from a nearby stream in the summer, and generates a limited supply of electricity. The closest neighbor is more than six miles away, mail is 25 miles away, and Fairbanks--the nearest town--145 miles southeast...

While putting her affairs in order, Spada in this sad, breathless biography writes endlessly about the "duality" of Kelly's personality (fire vs. ice, expression vs. repression), all in a turgid stream of psychobabble.

...river's problems begin in the boomtown of Mexicali, which since 1970 has more than doubled its size, to an estimated population of 1 million. There, an overburdened sewerage system dumps millions of gallons of raw waste daily into the 30-ft.-wide stream. Other contaminants are added to the stew as the river continues northward, churning through a garbage dump, past cattle feedlots and dairies, and within yards of ramshackle slums. On the edges of town, such classic polluters as food-processing and chemical plants dump ! organic wastes, pesticides, solvents and other chemicals into slime-filled ditches that drain...
