/ Electricity is actually made up of \
| extremely tiny particles, called |
| electrons, that you cannot see with the |
| naked eye unless you have been |
| drinking. Electrons travel at the speed |
| of light, which in most American homes |
| is 110 volts per hour. This is very |
| fast. In the time it has taken you to |
| read this sentence so far, an electron |
| could have traveled all the way from |
| San Francisco to Hackensack, New |
| Jersey, although God alone knows why it |
| would want to. |
| |
| The five main kinds of electricity are |
| alternating current, direct current, |
| lightning, static, and European. Most |
| American homes have alternating |
| current, which means that the |
| electricity goes in one direction for a |
| while, then goes in the other |
| direction. This prevents harmful |
| electron buildup in the wires. |

/ NEW YORK-- Kraft Foods, Inc. announced \
| today that its board of directors |
| unanimously rejected the $11 billion |
| takeover bid by Philip Morris and Co. A |
| Kraft spokesman stated in a press |
| conference that the offer was rejected |
| because the $90-per-share bid did not |
| reflect the true value of the company. |
| |
| Wall Street insiders, however, tell |
| quite a different story. Apparently, |
| the Kraft board of directors had all |
| but signed the takeover agreement when |
| they learned of Philip Morris' |
| marketing plans for one of their major |
| Middle East subsidiaries. To a person, |
| the board voted to reject the bid when |
| they discovered that the tobacco giant |
| intended to reorganize Israeli Cheddar, |
| Ltd., and name the new company Cheeses |
\ of Nazareth. /
