Still, as a visionary, Van Praagh was far more forward thinking than anyone else in this issue. His concept of the future is bold and beautiful and, though he kept saying "this is really weird," not at all weird. Just awesome. I'm going to carry a man bag, see more breasts and have one son named Alex and another named Alec. Waving goodbye, as he walked back into his cheery bungalow just across the street from the façade used for My Three Sons, Van Praagh, looking almost beatific, yelled, "Nice meeting you, Josh!" And, for a moment...
...bold move, Blakey tacked on a request for NextGen funding to the FAA reauthorization bill, which determines the FAA's budget, that Congress must pass by Sept. 30. If Congress does not pass the bill by then, the FAA will stop collecting taxes and would only have enough money to function for two months. But lawmakers and aviation experts agree that NextGen must be funded. When Congress returns to session in September, figuring out how to fund NextGen will be a top priority...
...great unanswered questions of basic science that had long fascinated him. He wanted to endow major prizes for research in his astro-nano-neuro triad, the fields he thinks will produce the most exciting discoveries in the coming centuries. In particular, he wanted to finance early-stage research, the bold ideas that may be many years away from producing tangible results. Quantum physics, for example, seemed totally impractical until engineers used its findings to design the tiny chips that power today's beloved consumer gadgets. Amid funding cuts for basic research, Kavli wanted to help produce knowledge about the world...

But the rise in low-paying and insecure "McJobs" is not a sign that all boats are being lifted. As long as the income gap between rich and poor continues to soar...
...credit, of course; the strong global economy that spurred Britain's economy during his 10 years as Chancellor had little to do with Brown, for one thing. But Britain's longest-serving finance minister since the 1820s is owed at least some of the plaudits. For example, his bold decision to grant independence to the Bank of England in 1997 separated politics from the setting of interest rates, helping raise confidence in the U.K. economy and providing a backdrop for stable growth...
