A billion dollars equals the daily operating cost of all U S public schools for six hours, two years' earnings for 56 561 minimum wage workers, and enough to feed a quarter million four-person households for a year.

Governor George Voinovich, the self described environmental governor, plans another canoe outing touted as proof of environmental concern. Critics accuse him of exploiting Geauga County and the Cuyahoga River for publicity while he refuses to reject political contributions from Ohio’s top emitters. Weathered by criticism, he defends by arguing manufacturers should not be penalized for by products. Mother Nature reportedly fainted at the kerfuffle.
