There are lots of Conservation Wusses on the crowded, constricted Left Coast, but there are many more everywhere than Cheney, in his about-to-be-released energy plan, acknowledges. He sniffs at conservation as a "sign of personal virtue" and not much more. Yet in Seattle, the first place to make coffee a separate food group, Conservation Wusses have saved the equivalent of a new power plant over two decades. In the late 1970s, instead of merely investing in new plants, Seattle City Light focused on incentives to change consumption patterns and invested in boosting efficiency. While much of California...
...classic moments in the network's history, NBC kept a relentlessly upbeat message (remember: "Survivor" did no harm on Thursday night! None!) that bespoke the nervousness throughout the industry about the soft ad market. Execs invoked the golden days of big-network television, reaching a ludicrous apex when West Coast president Scott Sassa likened "Weakest Link" host Anne Robinson to Groucho Marx. At times, NBC's pageant of self-butt-kissing even contradicted itself, as when Zucker's old "Today" colleagues came on stage and talked about his leaving their show to "save the network."

...white stucco four-story apartment building on the rocky, windswept Miura coast is called the Blue Sea. The palm tree in front is lashed down with ropes to keep it from blowing over. But the views of the sailboat marina and rugged coastline are spectacular. It's a tony area: Japan's best-known actor of the 1960s, Toshiro Mifune, lived a few hundred meters down the coast until he died a few years ago. It takes no more than 60 seconds to walk from the front lobby of the Blue Sea to the spot where Lucie's remains were...
...could cause a new arms race." Beijing knows even the initially modest system proposed by Clinton--a fleet of 100 missiles designed to knock out as many as 25 warheads from the heavens--could render obsolete their 20 single-warhead, long-range missiles, which can reach the West Coast of America. Once that system is in place, Beijing's leverage with the U.S.--especially on the touchy topic of Taiwan--could be crippled...
...Navy's system has different complications. A missile-killing warship would have to be close to the enemy-rocket launch, sitting in international waters just off the coast of North Korea, for example. But if the rocket blasted off too far inland--from deep inside China, Iran, Iraq or Russia, for example--the Navy interceptor would be unable to catch it. That shortcoming pleases Moscow and Beijing, which would be beyond the ship-based system's reach...
