...lower and lower, the Clinton years, for all their drama, were looking better and better. Yet there was always the worry about whether Bill would be able to stay within the constrained, derivative role of the candidate's spouse. The biggest fear was that he would shine too bright, burn too hot, consign the candidate to his shadow...
...protest the airport's proposed third runway - argue it makes more sense simply to fly less. Others argue there are bigger, more realistic environmental gains to be made by building more efficient airplanes. Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, once it's finally shipped out to its buyers, is expected to burn 20% less fuel than similar-sized planes - and that plane will be in commercial use in just a few months. As priorities go in aviation sustainability, "Right now [biofuel] will be very low," Virgin Atlantic CEO Steve Ridgway tells TIME. But with fears that the days of oil are numbered...
...competitiveness of the college applicant pool continues to soar, and the pressure on ambitious high school seniors to perform intensifies, administrators and students alike opine about the so-called “burn out” effect. Still recuperating from an overly stressful year, many incoming freshmen are ill-equipped to participate in university life.

Admission to the program would...
...told him everything would be all right. By the time he was 10, he recalls, it had turned into 20 "threatening and demonic" voices; over the next two decades, they compelled him to steal, convinced him he was Jesus, and persuaded him to attempt suicide.

Years of psychiatric treatment offered no relief, so Bullimore joined a support group for people similarly afflicted. A decade later, he says, he is no longer at the mercy of his voices: "Now, when we argue...
...raising biofuel crops - the amount of carbon released in the process of converting natural landscapes into cropland. They found that corn ethanol produced in the U.S. had a carbon debt of 93 years, meaning it would take nearly a century for ethanol, which does produce fewer greenhouse gases when burned than fossil fuels, to make up for the carbon released in that initial landscape conversion. Palm tree biodiesel in Indonesia and Malaysia - one of the most controversial biofuels currently in use, because of its connection to tropical deforestation in those countries - has a carbon debt of 86 years. Soybean biodiesel...
