Lately, though, the networks' morning-show managers have committed some major miscues. Last fall the Today show turned what should have been an orderly transfer of power -- from Jane Pauley to Deborah Norville -- into a public-relations Chernobyl.

CBS, in the meantime, has dumped...

Radioactive fallout from Chernobyl swept across most of the European continent. Canadian lakes are being poisoned by the belchings of U.S. smokestacks. The torching of Brazil's tropical forests each year accounts for some 6% of all the CO2 that is pumped into the atmosphere. Deforestation in Haiti and drought in Africa have prompted large cross-border refugee movements -- just a foretaste, perhaps, of the mass migrations that could result if runaway population growth outstrips world...
