Walk in the sunshine, watch for the bright sun, Be all those things you're able to be. You got to listen to the heavens, you got to try to understand, The grateness of their movement is just as small as it is grand. Try not to hurry, it's just not your worry. Leave it to those all caught up in time. You got to deep-six your wristwatch, you got to try and understand, The time it seems to capture is just the movement of its hands. I ain't preachin', 'cause I don't know How to make fast things move along slow I can't stop it, can't make it go. Just 'cause I say it, that don't mean that it's so, no, no, Watch what you hear now, make sure it's clear now, Just 'cause it's said that don't mean that it's true. So all we say: You got to make a revolution, you got to help me with my cause. You got to burn down all the buildings, you got to throw out all the laws. I ain't burning, Lord, I'm still only learning How to become a man of my own. I ain't crazy, nor am I lazy, Just want to find out what's right and what's wrong. I ain't crazy, all the world keeps on turning, I'm still trying to find out what's right and what's wrong. I ain't crazy! Dana Telsey's on CNBC. She makes me melt.

Thursday June 1 2:42 AM ET U.S. Settles Lawsuit, Agrees to Cut Smog by 2002 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government on Wednesday agreed to do more to curb harmful smog in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and other major U.S. cities by 2002 to settle a lawsuit brought by six environmental groups. The agreement settles a case brought by Environmental Defense and five other groups who wanted the government to implement clean air plans to protect public health by setting firm deadlines for cities' and states' progress in controlling pollution, Environmental Defense Fund said in a statement. The settlement gives states additional time to correct deficiencies and adopt sound smog control plans, making the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) responsible for designing smog control plans if states fail to create adequate air pollution cleanup plans by deadlines set in the Clean Air Act. ``This settlement is an important public health victory,'' said Environmental Defense transportation director Michael Replogle. ``Now, the states must step up to the plate with real plans to protect our families, our children and our nation's elderly from the dangerous effects of air pollution.'' Replogle said state and local governments should help to quickly replace dirty old technologies with new and cleaner ones for transportation, energy, industry, and consumer products, as well as initiating projects to slow urban sprawl and growing dependence on motor vehicles. EPA and medical experts have shown smog air pollution damages lung tissue, reduces lung function, and makes the lungs susceptible to other irritants. Smog affects people with impaired respiratory systems, such as those suffering from asthma, but harms healthy adults and children as well. It is estimated that during the summer of 1997 smog pollution was associated with over 50,000 respiratory-related hospital admissions, over 150,000 emergency room visits, and over 6 million asthma attacks in the Eastern United States. The urban areas covered by the settlement are: metropolitan New York, including northern New Jersey and Long Island; Hartford and surrounding areas; metropolitan Philadelphia; the metropolitan Baltimore and Washington, D.C. areas; Springfield, Massachusetts; Houston and surrounding areas; the metropolitan Chicago area; and the Milwaukee/Racine metropolitan area. The settlement was filed with the federal district court for the District of Columbia.
