Cigarette makers insist that there is no proof that heart disease, even lung cancer, or any other disease, is actually caused by cigarettes.

They compare it to coffee drinking and ask if coffee manufacturers are accused of adding caffeine to their coffee.

One of these survivors is the crocodile, which has been around for about 100 million years. Today’s crocodiles can grow to a length of twenty feet and weigh about a ton. Their prehistoric ancestors were about two-and-a-half times the size of today’s animals.
Another survivor from the past is the Galapagos tortoise, whose history goes back around 200 million years. The tortoise of today has not evolved much over the last 200 million years; it looks about the same now as it did way back then.

b/ In the 20th century, magazines have been a major growth area of popular publishing. Specialist magazines cater to every imaginable field and activity. In the United Kingdom, over 12,000 periodicals, magazines, bulletins, annuals, trade journals, and academic journals are published on a regular basis. There are some 40 women’s magazines and over 60 dealing with particular sports, games, hobbies and pastimes. Although some US magazines, such as The Saturday Evening Post, has succumbed to the competition of TV, many continue to have enormous international circulations, The Reader’s Digest over 16 million, The National Geographic over 10 million. For many people, magazines have been the most available and widely used form of continuing education, providing information about history, geography, literature, science, and the arts, as well as guidance on gardening, cooking, home decorating, financial management, psychology, even marriage and family life.
Until the rise of TV, magazines were the most available form of cheap, convenient entertainment in the English-speaking world. Radio served a similar function, but it was limited in what it could do. Magazines and TV, however both address the more powerful visual sense. During the third quarter of the 20th century, coincident with a dramatic rise in the popularity of TV, many general-interests, especially illustrated magazines went out of business. The shift in attention of a mass audience from reading such magazines to watching TV has been a major factor in this decline, but it is an implicit tribute from TV to the older genre that its programs are generally organized in a single format and content.
