...such protection and must breathe the smoke that wafts his way from the cigarette's end. That unfiltered smoke contains more cadmium than is contained in filtered smoke. (Cadmium, in large doses, is connected with emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and hypertension). Unfiltered smoke also contains almost twice the tar and nicotine of filtered smoke.

To prepare for the day when conventional wells can no longer meet the world's needs, Exxon is already experimentally squeezing oil out of Rocky Mountain shale and the tar sands of northern Alberta...

When all was ready, Sakkas' burning-glass experiment took place early this month at the Skaramanga naval base outside Athens. After lining up 70 mirror-bearing sailors on a pier, Sakkas directed them to reflect sunlight...
