23. 23 The famous Leaning Tower of Pisa has been tilting for over 800 years, and recent improvements should allow it to continue tilting for another 300 more. On August 9, 1173, construction began on this well known Italian bell tower. Almost immediately, it began leaning because it was being erected on the soft silt of a buried riverbed. Between 1178 and 1360, work stopped and started two more times as workers tried to continue the project and figure out how to compensate for the tilt. Over the next six centuries, the tower’s lean continued to increase, although tourists were still allowed to visit. Then, in 1990, Italy’s prime minister feared the tower would collapse and closed it to the public. From 1999 to 2001, engineers excavated soil from beneath the tower. Now, the tower still leans out about 15 feet beyond its base, but it should remain stable for several more centuries.

24. 24 Chronological?

25. 25 Smoking is the single most preventable risk factor for fatal illnesses in the United States. Indeed, cigarette smoking accounts for more deaths than all other drugs, car accidents, suicides, homicides, and fires combined. Further, nonsmokers who inhale smoke from other people’s cigarettes face an elevated risk for lung cancer and other illnesses related to the lungs, a fact that has given rise to a nonsmokers’ rights movement in the United States.

26. 26 Cause and effect?

27. 27 Almost everyone in the United States files a tax return. There are several things that should be done during the year, beginning with the most basic and fundamental: keep copies of the tax return, W-2 statement, and 1099 forms. It is also wise to keep seven years’ worth of documentation in files, just in case there is an audit. Keep and compare figures on tax return to the Social Security statement. But all of this is dependent on one crucial act. It is supremely important to keep all permanent records stored in an impregnable place, such as a fireproof strongbox.
