ON THIS DAY: In 1999, the population of planet Earth reached 6 billion, as estimated by the United Nations -- a billion people are added every 12 years. If this trend continues, we may be faced with the situation Charleton Heston must contend with in the 1973 science fiction film SOYLENT GREEN -- his detective, investigating a murder on a terribly overpopulated Earth, makes a horrible discovery about the nature of humanity's food supply.
