WASHINGTON - More than 32 mostly coal-fired power plants in a dozen states will be forced to shut down and an additional 36 might have to close because of new federal air pollution regulations, according to an Associated Press survey. Together, those plants - some of the oldest and dirtiest in the country - produce enough electricity for more than 22 million households, the AP survey found. But their demise probably won't cause homes to go dark.

Victoria Hofstad, a spokeswoman for Spectrum Brands, Rayovac's parent company, denies it. "Rayovac did not close the Madison plant due to production in China," she says. "The plant was closed because it produced old-technology batteries with a declining market." She adds that while Spectrum does not disclose information on labor costs, it considers Rayovac's remaining Wisconsin plants, in Fennimore and Portage, "cost-competitive for supplying the U.S. market. * Fiskars in Wausau.

NK: There's still a preference for sons in the country. In general, males tend to get preference in the job market and so on, but it's much better than it used to be. A hundred years ago, a lot of girls in rural areas didn't even get names. They'd be called "third daughter." So compared to that, the progress has been extraordinary. NK: Not as much as in the West, especially in rural areas . . . but there is a real awareness of local environmental problems. Farmers increasingly get really angry because some factory upriver is going to dump some kind of pollution into a water source for their livestock, and all their pigs are going to die . . .
