Cooking classes for youngsters are now available across the country--in cookware stores, at cooking schools, in your home. "Children know much more about food than they did 10 years ago," says Riki Senn, the cooking-school coordinator at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulfur Springs, W.Va. Her school offers gourmet-cooking classes for children during the summer, teaching recipes for treats like fruit salsa and chocolate-dipped strawberries...
...that stinking rose! What makes garlic--and your breath--smell so bad is precisely what makes it so healthful. The odor factors are sulfur-based compounds known as allyl sulfides. Health gurus promote garlic as a cure-all, which it certainly is not, but many scientists agree that allyl sulfides and other phytochemicals in garlic may help protect the heart. Studies show that the sulfides can reduce cholesterol and may make the blood less sticky. Scientists are fairly confident that garlic also has antibacterial and antifungal powers. Preliminary reports even suggest that garlic may block the parasites that cause malaria...
...north tower. "He asked a lot of really crazy questions," recalls Whitener.

He also asked about Boliden Intertrade, a chemical plant that until last year produced sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid but now stands empty.

The concept was pioneered by the President's father in his Clean Air Act, which cut acid rain in half by allowing U.S. utilities to trade sulfur dioxide credits. Today the system would permit the industrialized countries to trade carbon-emission credits (basically licenses to emit specific amounts of greenhouse gases) among one another and participating developing countries. Because climate change is a global problem, its solution is ideally suited to an international-trading regime. Such trading...
