...Serafini and a Sandro Chia mosaic. Achille Bonito Oliva, the project's curator, calls it the world's first "obligatory museum" - if you ride the No. 1 line, you can't miss it. Still, city officials are perhaps proudest of the brushstrokes that have not shown up. Barely a trace of graffiti or vandalism has been registered since the scheme began. "Through this project, Neapolitans are showing a huge amount of pride," says Giovanna Torcia, spokeswoman for the city's subway authority. "If we educate people about beauty, they want to keep things beautiful...
Smart shops trace their origins to Amsterdam, where in the early 1990s people began using such substances as ginkgo, a plant extract, to improve cognitive functions and help stay alert for work and study. Those pills merged with "eco-drugs" into the broader category of smart drugs that are making their way into markets across Europe. Dutch wholesaler Ananda Schouten says France has the most restrictive laws, but looser rules in Germany and Britain have spawned dozens of full-fledged smart shops in those countries.

"Putin has already pushed his forces to the limit," says a senior federal government official. "Now he is sending in his last reserves. Putin will carry on blindly, spilling more Russian and Chechen blood." A handful of liberals in the Duma - Shchekochikhin among them - have...
...what are the facts? There is no doubt that PG&E irresponsibly dumped chromium-6, and that the substance is a carcinogen. When inhaled regularly over long periods of time, it can cause cancer of the lung and the septum. But current studies show that, ingested in the trace amount found in Hinkley's water, or in food, it's harmless. According to a 1998 Environmental Protection Agency report on chromium-6, "No data were located in the available literature that suggested that it is carcinogenic by the oral route of exposure...
