...exist without capitalism, and capitalism without democracy, but probably not for very long. Political and economic freedom tend to go together. Early in the century, Theodore Roosevelt laid the foundation for a government-guided free market, one that encouraged individual initiative while protecting people against cartels and the colder faces of capitalism. His cousin Franklin confronted capit alism's greatest challenge, the Great Depression, by following these principles. Half a world away, Lenin laid the groundwork for a command economy, and his successor, Stalin, showed how brutal it could be. They ended up on the ash heap of history. Although...
LONDON: Scientists with the European Space Agency say the picture is getting clearer: Titan, Saturn's moon, is just like Earth -- only colder. Data from the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), which is orbiting around Earth but looking at Saturn, indicates that not only is water rather plentiful on Titan, it may have been brought there by comets -- long theorized to be the way water came to Earth, allowing life to begin...
Scientists predicted, for example, that in western North America the south should be colder and wetter than last winter, while the north would be warmer and drier. That's just what happened: at one point this winter, it was snowing in Guadalajara, Mexico, while thermometers in Saskatchewan registered in the 50s. That doesn't mean the scientists are always right, of course. They can make broad-brush predictions of El Nino's effects without being able to forecast exactly what will happen in any given place. Some of the early prediction scenarios--no snow for the Olympic Winter Games...
...Nina can bring its own set of weather headaches: a drier, hotter southern tier and a wetter, colder north. "Like a pendulum that goes back and forth, El Nino is one side of the extreme and La Nina is the other," says Scripps' Lisa Goddard. Although the magnitude of an El Nino doesn't necessarily determine the size of the subsequent La Nina, some climatologists are already saying that if you think this El Nino was bad, wait until you see his sister...
