...recreation use, as in Santee and Alpine, Calif. In Washington, D.C., water reclaimed at the Blue Plains plant goes back into the seriously polluted Potomac River. In Nassau County, N.Y., it may be used to replenish underground reservoirs. Eventually, all this reclaimed water finds its way to the household tap. By then, its source has been well disguised, and like so much of the U.S.'s potable water, it is contaminated with pesticides...
...York's Flatiron Building as the prototype. Certainly the Flatiron's architect was at least partly conscious of the heritage. He modeled the building after traditional towers and columns, separating it into three discrete sections: base, shaft and capital.

They are all racing to tap the same treasure-an undersea source of oil that is far from the dangerous uncertainties of the Middle East and close to the great Japanese market. To make it even more attractive, the oil is "sweet crude," relatively free from pollution-producing sulfur...
