...mainly from fertilizer runoff, sewage and animal wastes, has been recognized for years. But the E.D.F. study is the first to pinpoint acid rain as an important source of coastal pollution. Any overload of nitrogen feeds marine algae, which bloom into vast growths that block sunlight and deplete the oxygen supply, smothering fish and crustaceans. The E.D.F. reports that 25% of the nitrogen contaminating Chesapeake Bay is the result of acid rain; investigators found similar nitrogen levels in a preliminary study of the coastal waters of New York and North Carolina. The proposed solution: tighter state and federal restrictions...
...three hours' sleep and then waking up at 5:30 a.m. and having a few cups of coffee, a few cigarettes, and then carting his poor quivering liver out to the field for another day of flying.

The major finding: certain measurements of metabolism, such as the rate at which the body consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, can be used to predict who is likely to become obese. Says Dr. George Bray, an obesity specialist at the University of Southern California: "It's the predictive nature of this work that is so important...
