ANOTHER ATTEMPT

to stop the oil from spilling into the Gulf of Mexico has failed. This is just awful. Since April 20, when the drilling rig exploded and killed 11 workers, 12,000 to 25,000 barrels (up 10 3 million liters) of oil PER DAY have run into the sea, staining the coast and marsh of Louisiana. They call it the biggest environmental disaster in American history. And don't expect to fix it anytime before August. (pictures from NYT)
