QUOTES:
"PARIS - The heat wave that scorched Europe in August killed more than
19,000 people, according to official estimates tallied by The Associated
Press, making it one of the most deadly natural disasters in the past
century. The death toll may be higher: the AP survey of a dozen countries
found that two Germany and Spain have attributed only a fraction of summer
fatalities to heat so far. "
