...green evangelist, Chu has chosen global warming as his theme to inspire America to move forward on his true quest - for the achievement of clean, abundant and cheap energy produced in and for America. This kind of energy will free us from our dependence on foreign oil and encourage venture capital to create new technologies that will in turn generate jobs. Climate change addressed in this way will not require sacrifices by Americans but will open a new chapter of American prosperity. W. Philip Schirm, Los Gatos, Calif...

Hollywood would say it was a grand gorging: all-time box-office records were broken both in North America and abroad...
...Agriculture Secretary does concede that the absence of the virus among American hogs so far does not mean that the herds will remain clean. He reported government scientists have thus developed a master seed strain of H1N1 that they are making available to five veterinary-drug makers that can prepare vaccines to be rolled out if and when any herds come down sick. "By making the seed virus, we estimate we've saved two to four months of development time. We hope the manufacturers will now make the vaccine," said Vilsack. The Agriculture Department is also stepping up surveillance efforts...
