...Even the entirely godless-provided they are not entirely artless-know that Christmas began with an angel. The soaring radiance of medieval and Renaissance art turned again and again to the Annunciation and the astonishing moment when Gabriel first appeared to Mary with the slightly scandalous news that she was about to become the mother of Christ.

One possibility is a chemical called NTA which can replace a significant portion of the phosphates in a box of detergent. Even so, some experts agree that the only true solution is the construction of "tertiary" treatment sewage plants that would reduce phosphates from all sources to harmless...
