...including $1,500 in unpaid bills, the President computed his net worth as of Jan. 1 at exactly $1,005,910.25. That was up from $795,357.74 a year earlier, chiefly because of the rising value of 2,000 acres of farm land that Carter owns in Sumter and Webster counties in southwestern Georgia.

...familiar as the monsoon cycle may be, the winds remain inscrutable-"a sea of question marks," says Australian Meteorologist Peter Webster. Predicting them is bafflingly difficult; they are a cauldron of complex, wildly fluctuating conditions. Says the U.S. National Science Foundation's Richard Greenfield: "They can vary fantastically over the space of a few miles, and even a one-or two-degree temperature shift sets vast amounts of airborne water dropping...
