...formidable Langdell library. There’s five of them officially, drawing spring course credit for the 10 to 15 hours a week they are expected to devote to the “RIAA clinical.” But the retinue that composes team Tenenbaum is a bit bigger than that, extending to include the undergraduate Meister, a couple of interested first-years not yet eligible for clinical credit, and even, ostensibly, Nesson’s wife Fern...
...mixed. In the Central Asian conflict, says Army Spokesman Harvey Perritt, the NATO rapid reaction force coupled with humanitarian assistance was able to decrease the violence along the border between Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. The Korean problem, however, remained largely unresolved. "With the Korean Peninsula," says Perritt, "the problem is bigger than just military." The conclusions drawn from the exercise, he said, were more "informational and cultural." The response to a North Korean attack, he says, would have to require diplomatic, humanitarian and other solutions, including the involvment of many other allies. That does not bode well for the world beyond...
...carbon, too, bioelectricity was a winner. On average, the carbon offset from using bioelectricity is 100% bigger than the offset for using ethanol. (Even though biomass releases carbon when it is burned, just like oil, when new plants are growing they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reducing the overall carbon footprint.) "It's simply the case that bioelectricity is just a lot more efficient than using ethanol, in most ways," says Campbell...
...Science study doesn't take into account other impacts that bioelectricity might have compared to ethanol, like water consumption or air pollution. Growing biomass, even on marginal agricultural land, does require water, as does making electricity. There's a bigger problem - electric cars still remain few and far between, while there are already millions of U.S. vehicles on the road that can run on an ethanol blend. Creating the sort of infrastructure that can support electric cars on a mass scale won't be cheap, and it's not a cost that Campbell and his colleagues included in their study...
...Rice's friends say she in no way relishes playing a bigger role in the inevitable review of Bush era policies. They add she has no intention of trading rhetorical punches with Cheney, and unlike the former veep, she's unlikely to go on TV to defend Bush's policies. But Rice, who is also a fellow at the Hoover Institution, does have other speaking engagements coming up. And it's a safe bet that as the review of Bush interrogation policies heats up, she will be taking on another role in service of her old boss...
