Not moi but according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks — many calling them "lazy," "violent," responsible for their own troubles. Not all whites are prejudiced but why 40 percent of them hold at least a partly negative view toward blacks, and that includes many Democrats and independents. Given a choice of several positive and negative adjectives that might describe ...

After heavy rains, many cities discharge untreated sewage directly into waterways -- more than 860 billion gallons of it a year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
