STRATEGISTS While the solution to global warming seems dauntingly complex, physicist Robert Socolow and ecologist Stephen Pacala have come up with a remarkably straightforward way of approaching it. To stabilize the world's carbon emissions, they propose not chasing a single magic bullet but harnessing seven different categories of reduction, using available technology. Their goal is to draw a road map for reducing CO2 emissions that is both realistic and effective...

We had enough opportunities to drive the ball and we didn’t.”Four straight hits to open the third inning propelled Penn to an early 2-0 lead, but two stellar defensive plays—a bullet throw to third base by junior right fielder Tom Stack-Babich and a pickoff at first—eliminated two Quakers baserunners and limited the damage.

Indeed, the film is best at giving instructions in the assembling and detonation of weapons of movie distraction.
