...main thing was rejecting authority in every way I could," he says. "I had zero interest in science. I got out of every science class I could, there was nothing that could predict my becoming a scientist. I rejected academia, I rejected everything. I mean, it was the '60s. When I graduated from high school, I swore up and down that I would never go to college--so, I always felt it was ironic that I ended up in science...
California, with the nation's filthiest air, was the first to adopt a radical strategy--ordering automakers to produce zero-emission vehicles. And, as the country's largest auto market--with 1 of every 7 cars sold in the U.S.--it has the clout.

Other automakers have focused on government and commercial fleets...

Still, before irradiated beef can become available, the Department of Agriculture must issue new regulations for its processing and labeling, which makes it unlikely, says a departmental official, that you'll find zapped beef...
