COLLEGE STUDENT TURNS FOUR YEARS OF BLUE BOOKS INTO GOLD!
A college student with a double major in physics and alchemy shocked the academic community by announcing that four years of blue books and all the memories that go with them could be turned into gold.
"I don't know what people were doing trying to turn lead into gold, but obviously they didn't know about ArtCarved. I took one look at their
big selection of men's and women's gold rings and picked one. It was easy. ArtCarped also gave me lots of custom options to remember my four years and a lifetime guarantee. I don't know any physicist who can do that," said the ebullient senior.

AMA report says tobacco industry pulls smokers' strings
NEW YORK — The tobacco industry is quietly encouraging the formation of "smokers' rights" groups in an attempt to block the enactment of local ordinances restricting smoking, a study scheduled for release today.
Nevertheless, the industry's superior financial resources and its discrete lobbying do not guarantee that it will be able to provide the care of the American Medical Association.
The industry's lobbying includes "real efforts to stay in the background, to pull all the strings, but not to really appear, because they know they have no career." The firm, Stanton A. Giants of the University of California, San Francisco.
"The tobacco companies are organizing their victims to protect their profits," said Glantz, an engineer who deals with the physiology of the heart.
Hills and Los Angeles to fight local anti-smoking ordinances.
In particular, the researchers said, the industry helped to organize restaurant owners' associations in Beverly
A spokesman for the Tobacco Institute vehemently denied the researchers' statement, "Those people came to us, as have smokers all over the country, and asked for our assistance in helping them fight ridiculous, intrusive legislation that would literally put them out of business," said Walker Merryman, a representative for the Washington, D.C.-based industry trade association.
Glantz and co-author Bruce Samuels of UCSF analyzed several case studies of the tobacco industry lobbying against local anti-smoking ordinances. Their study was praised by U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Louis W. Sullivan.
"Their study documents the tragically powerful influence of the tobacco industry and its deadly message." Sullivan said in an accompanying editori-
"The truth is that the battle over tobacco use must not be based on simply which side spends the most
money," he wrote. "Lives have been, and will continue to be, saved by studies on the effects of tobacco, and by disseminating information from those studies to the public through every possible avenue."
Samuels and Glantz said their research showed that health agencies could successfully oppose the tobacco industry if the agencies put up a serious fight.
"When the health community makes a serious commitment of time and resources, it wins. When it fails to make such a commitment, the tobacco industry prevails, more by default than by its superior financial resources," the researchers wrote.
"There's a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy functioning," Glanz said. "The health agencies say, 'Oh the industry always wins, therefore why fight them?' The agencies don't contour resources, and the industry wins."
Merryman said that the human resources available to the health groups made them a powerful force.
Bush will keep pressuring Iraq
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bush assured the emir of Bahrain yesterday that he would continue to pressure Iraq until it destroys all its weapons of mass destruction.
"Saddam Hussein will not scorn the will of the world," Bush said, "Iraq must never again threaten its neighbors."
Bahrain's emir, Sheik Isa bin Sulman al-Khalifa, thanked Bush for his leadership in the Persian Gulf war and said that the Middle East was on the verge of an important breakthrough in peace efforts.
Bahrain has agreed to participate in the U.S.-sponsored peace conference through the Gulf Cooperation council
Bahrain, astrategic group of islands
in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Saudi Arabia, served as the key allied naval base during the war. It withheld Iraq from its attacks, and its air force flew against Iran.
Bush said Saddam must agree to U.N. ground rules if he wanted to sell Iraqi oil to buy food and medicine.
The United States is seeking permission to base its command ship, the U.S. LaSalle, and to position military aircraft in the zone. The U.S. troops are needed on short notice.
After the two leaders' talks, a U.S. official said Bush and the emir agreed that Iraq needed to be pressured until it complies fully with U.N. Security Council resolutions.
Bush commended the Bahrainis for their courage in the war, saying
Bahrain served as a key staging point in Desert Storm.
The emir lauded Bush's leadership and his commitment to reducing confrontation and to promoting peace and cooperation throughout the world.
Bush and the emir also agreed to look for ways the United States and its private sector could spur economic growth in Bahrain, a country four times the size of Washington, D.C., with a population of 500,000. Its economy suffered not only during the gulf war but also during the Iran-iraq war, which disrupted shipping in the gulf.
The emir told The Associated Press in an interview Monday that he hoped the upcoming peace conference would enhance enmity between Arabs and Israelis.
