"Look at this?the crops are stunted, the water is polluted," rails Bari-Ara Kpalap, grabbing a wilted stalk of cassava as he stands ankle-deep in oily water.

Plus, his daughter has diabetes. Yes, they go there.The fault largely lies in Stuart Beattie?...
...watch “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” on a triple-bill with “The Dukes of Hazzard” and “Fantastic Four.” I would rather read Dr. Laura for five hours and then be whipped with a wet stalk of sugar cane by Lindsay Lohan after a five-day cabbage-only diet.
