...search yields a single mom who has been running her own resume-writing and career-coaching business since 1994, a collegiate golfer, a health care administrator named Sheldon Newman and a University of New Mexico accountant. No nontraditional Harvard students. Short of asking the resident Crimson computer geeks to trace Shelley’s login location, I had exhausted every possible venue for finding out information about my alter ego. Shelley was gone—and the trail had grown cold...
What goes down the drain eventually bubbles up in rivers and streams, according to a U.S. Geological Survey report on 140 waterways in 30 states. The stuff comes from farms and factories, as well as toilets, sinks and medicine chests. Environmentalists fear that even trace amounts of some pollutants might increase resistance to antibiotics, disrupt reproductive cycles or act as carcinogens. But in most cases, scientists don't know enough about exposure to contaminants at minute quantities to say what dangers, if any, they pose. Among the 95 chemicals tracked...
...saying it had "completely scrubbed" any gay scenes from Nasar's book.

Others tried to trace that tip to Fox, but Drudge says he found it himself when he read the book "and the Jew stuff popped...
...Santa Monica, a beach town known for its movie stars, the sun shines almost every day, palm trees sway on the boulevards--and the groundwater is poisoned. All over town, ugly drilling rigs mounted on trucks are boring 300-foot holes to trace the plumes of a pollutant that has leaked from the underground tanks of gasoline stations. The culprit: methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), an additive that makes gasoline burn cleaner but one the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified as a potential carcinogen. Half of Santa Monica's water supply is undrinkable--MTBE makes water taste like turpentine...
Because she analyzes Woolf strictly on the basis of her own writings, Dalsimer must assume that Woolf’s account of her own feelings is always trustworthy. As a result, Dalsimer’s attempt to trace the psychological development that led Woolf from her childhood to, ultimately, her suicide is limited by Woolf’s own self-image and by her selective expressions of emotion. But Dalsimer’s skillful organization of Woolf’s expansive body of work and intelligent analysis of Woolf’s literature gives us a thoughtful, nuanced picture...
