But, in fact, despite the gloom and doom from critics left and right (including, occasionally, me), the world seems to present the usual mixed bag of difficult problems and heartening developments. In Latin America, there's Hugo Chávez eroding democracy in Venezuela--but there's also pretty good news from the democracies in Mexico and Brazil.

Everything is green, not gold this summer, except for the bag of plump, ripe tomatoes delivered by a neighor. Tomato vines love the rain. "It may well be a tomato year - a happy thought," writes Austin organic farmer Carol Ann Sayles from Boggy Creek Farm in her weekly email to customers. "We do love them. Guess I'll have a tomato...
