As the holes get bigger, the treaties get tougher
Article Abstract:
The deepest Antarctic ozone hole was recorded in 1992, caused by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other chemicals manufactured since the war. Ozone damage will worsen before it improves, reaching its height in about the year 2000, despite the Montreal protocol limiting CFCs. A meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark in Nov 1992 will decide further restrictions in production of the problem chemicals. Arctic ozone holes may appear in the northern hemisphere.

Cracked up to be bigger
Article Abstract:
Kingston, Jamaica, has gained a reputation for being one of the drugs capitals of the world, and Jamaican criminals are thought to control the international crack cocaine trade. It is certainly a very violent place, with 600 people being murdered in 1994, but its problems stem more from poverty and politics than from drugs. The city is divided between Jamaica's two political parties, and corrupt politicians manipulate street culture.
