Steve Inskeep of member station WBGO in Newark, New Jersey, reports on new evidence strengthening the link between ozone smog and asthma. (04:22)

Clean Air Act Update / Rebecca Davis

Rebecca Davis reports from Washington on the rocky first year of the new Clean Air Act. The process of writing the new regulations required under the act has produced both surprising consensus and regulatory gridlock. (06:30)

Quayle vs. Clean Air? / Jon Greenberg

Jon Greenberg reports on the emergence of the once-obscure White House Council on Competitiveness as a major force in shaping new clean-air regulations. The Council, chaired by Vice President Dan Quayle, was set up to minimize the impact of new rules on business.
