Soccer is her comfort zone, a place to lose herself within the team and the game. "Growing up, I was very competitive, and I didn't like to lose," she says. "I was an emotional kid, and sports let me be happy, sad, frustrated, all on one field. It was O.K. to be that." Says Tony DiCicco, the U.S. women's head coach: "You see Mia's true personality come out on the soccer field. Coupled with her athletic ability and talent, when she puts it together, she's a dynamo...
...such popular so-whating persists, Immerwahr warns, the public may begin grasping at phony solutions to global warming. At the end of last week, some people took comfort from the report of a vast haze of pollutants that collects over the Indian Ocean in the winter, but that researchers only recently studied. Filthy as the cloud is, it does deflect solar radiation, and that could lead to cooling. But scientists warn that we cannot simply pollute our way out of global warming. The soot drops from the hazy atmosphere in weeks, whereas greenhouse gases remain for centuries...
...that hallowed end, it's your job to provide your kids with so much food, fun and comfort that they'll have nothing (much) to complain about.

She wrote in an early entry, "I hope that you will be a great support and comfort to me." She had no idea how widely that support and comfort would extend, though her awareness of the power in her hands seemed to grow as time passed. One year before her death from typhus in the Bergen-Belsen camp, she wrote, "I want to be useful or give pleasure...
...fierce center of moral gravity while simultaneously appealing to their contemporary nomadic impulse. To those who will never follow in his footsteps, submerged as they are in a world of cynicism, self-interest and frantic consumption, nothing could be more vicariously gratifying than Che's disdain for material comfort and everyday desires. One might suggest that it is Che's distance, the apparent impossibility of duplicating his life anymore, that makes him so attractive. And is not Che, with his hippie hair and wispy revolutionary beard, the perfect postmodern conduit to the nonconformist, seditious '60s, that disruptive past confined...
