...Saturday morning, and like a typical New Yorker, Biz Johnson-Brown, 31/2, is running late. Class has already been in session for half an hour when she parks her purple Princess bike near the door and, accompanied by her father, Bruce Brown, joins half a dozen other children as they climb and crawl and tiptoe their way through a miniature obstacle course under the relentlessly cheerful supervision of their beloved drill sergeant, Miss Leah...
...Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. That collaboration helped promote New Urbanism, a movement to build "walkable," mixed-use communities in which residences are a short distance from commercial centers. It also spurred efforts to retrofit cities and towns with what some call "complete streets"--thoroughfares that include sidewalks, bike paths and a protective strip of parked cars or vegetation to shield pedestrians from traffic. Reid Ewing, associate professor of urban studies at the University of Maryland, believes we may be seeing the first fruits of those efforts. After steadily declining for decades, the number of trips Americans made by walking showed...
When President Bush returned from his bike ride last week carrying I am Charlotte Simmons under his arm, observers seemed more worried about whether he had completed the novel than whether the Leader of the Free World should be reading and mountain biking simultaneously.

The back label was just as friendly: "Bonjour...
Your arguments on the “exorbitant” price of music are also misplaced. If a consumer believes the cost of a particular item—a stereo, a bike, a pair of jeans—is too high, you would never turn that around as justification to shoplift the item. Why should music be any different? Moreover, the relative price of music has risen very little in recent decades when compared to most other forms of entertainment (such as movies and sporting events). Perhaps if consumers realized that record companies typically invest hundreds of thousands of dollars...
