2) U.S. WATER SHORTAGES COMING IN THE NEXT DECADE
***************************************************
Water shortages have been appearing in places that
have never doubted the future of their supply, like
counties around Lake Michigan, the NY Times reports.

"'In the next 10 years, the United States will experi-
ence serious water shortages,' Rebecca Mark, chief
executive officer of Enron's water division, Azurix,
told business leaders in Texas two years ago as she
outlined plans to lay a claim to a global industry
worth about $400 billion."

Lies Parched" in the Aug. 12 NY Times, see:

***************************************************
3) ICELAND'S VISIONARY ENERGY POLICY
***************************************************
Iceland intends to be the world's first hydrogen-
based economy, eliminating fossil fuels and the
greenhouse gas emissions they produce.

6) WHY AMERICANS WILL BELIEVE ALMOST ANYTHING
***************************************************
Corporations control the media and thus the percep-

Americans Will Believe Almost Anything" by Dr. Tim
O'Shea gives the history of this corporate media
control and explains how well it has worked especi-
ally in nutrition and medicine.

***************************************************
A nuclear bomb 100 times more powerful than the one
dropped on Hiroshima sits off the coast of North
Carolina. It has never been found after it was
ordered dropped when the plane that was carrying it
had to make an emergency landing.
