...Rosen and other activists can attest, horticulture--with its regular, seasonal rewards--is also an ideal vehicle for community-organizing. For instance, in Portland, Ore., where vacant lots are scarce, an ad on Craigslist asking for unused land gave rise to City Garden Farms, a quarter acre (0.1 hectare) spread out over 12 backyards. Not much arm-twisting was involved. "This adds to the value of our community," says co-founder Martin Barrett. Indeed, edible gardens have become so trendy that in St. Louis, Mo., a housing developer is including an organic farm as a subdivision amenity, and in Queens...
...despite such successes, international justice has gotten a bad rap over the past decade. The rap stems from the failure to arrest criminals like Karadzic and his military counterpart Ratko Mladic, the slow pace and steep expense of the trials at the ad hoc tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, and the delays to the start of trials at the International Criminal Court (ICC). When Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the chief prosecutor at the ICC, requested a warrant to arrest Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir on charges of genocide a week before the Karadzic arrest, he was widely...
...alternative bands keep flooding into the mainstream, then the word alternative may go out of style, just as "progressive rock" became passe in the 1980s. "Alternative" has become a marketing tool.

Harvard Law School's Laurence Tribe called the upbeat statements from pro-lifers a ''kind of premature crowing that is not warranted,'' adding that ''anyone who is thoughtful recognizes that the court is not 5 to 4 on the basic issue of Roe vs. Wade. There is no evidence that (Dissenting Justice Sandra Day) O'Connor or the Chief Justice would be prepared to overrule Roe, although both are disturbed by some of the detailed...
...McCain's campaign, meanwhile, has been hammering Obama in a new negative attack ad that accuses the Illinois Senator of shirking his Senate oversight responsibilities on Afghanistan and voting against a funding bill for troops in Iraq. (Obama's vote was a protest against the war policy, not a rejection of the troops.) And McCain surrogate Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman appeared on Fox News Sunday to hammer Obama's past opposition to the current military effort in Iraq. "The fact is that if Barack Obama's policy on Iraq had been implemented, Barack Obama could not go to Iraq today...
