Nalini Nadkarni is an ecosystem biologist at Evergreen State College. Dispatch: 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 \| 5 Monday, 29 Apr 2002 OLYMPIA, Wash.

Oh, What Mixed Feelings! The Toyota Prius sounds great, but why is it so hard to get one?	Edward Flattau	18 Oct 2000	Soapbox
My 14-year-old car is on its last legs.
