...Earth's population but produces 25% of CO2 emissions, remains intransigent. Many environmentalists declared the Bush Administration hopeless from the start, and while that may have been premature, it's undeniable that the White House's environmental record--from the abandonment of Kyoto to the President's broken campaign pledge to control carbon output to the relaxation of emission standards--has been dismal. George W. Bush's recent rhetorical nods to America's oil addiction and his praise of such alternative fuel sources as switchgrass have yet to be followed by real initiatives...
...story for Crash. I had been haunted for 10 years by two men who had broken into my car. I really wondered who they were. I felt driven to write about them from their point of view. I woke up at two o'clock in the morning one day. I stayed up all night and had the story and all the characters worked out by 10 a.m. I didn't know if it was a movie.

Thanks to the help of his trainer, Maki returned with a skate enveloped in hard plastic—spray-painted black, no less, so other teams wouldn’t know to be gunning for the foot. “It still stuck out pretty...
...like the human appendix, this strange conceit remains, an evolutionary left-over from the time when people cared about where they lived. It’s important to realize that house pride is like Eastern European nationalism: a lot of slogans and flag-waving that mask an undercurrent of broken dreams. It’s true that every house has its pros and cons. Some, for example, serve grape juice (little known fact). Some houses have huge dogs (jackpot!), and some have aggravating children (miserable!). Currier has multiple TV-viewing areas, yet it also feels like a mixture between...
