...start [March 9]. I'm from Ireland, am the same age as Bono, have every one of their recordings on vinyl and CD, and have seen the band live, in Dublin and elsewhere many times. I wanted to thank Josh Tyrangiel for his incisive, honest and, above all, brave review of their new album, No Line on the Horizon. I've listened to an advance copy about 30 times, and it's a poor, disjointed, unmusical record with a few listenable songs. The only good ones sound like Brian Eno tunes with guest appearances by U2.

Averting dangerous climate change is going to take smart policy, vast technological change and brave entrepreneurs, but it will also require a popular social movement that can alter American values. Global warming is far from inspiring that kind of change - the Capitol plant protest still only attracted a few thousand people - but it is beginning and it is growing, and a snowstorm isn't likely to stop...
...Dunster residents brave enough to undertake another project of such monumental scale: we assure you that your igloo, like its predecessor, will die a natural death (namely, a lot of sunlight and warmth). So stay away, hockey players...
