...Though the building features state-of-the-art technology and is built in accordance with Stanford’s own sustainability guidelines, the university will not seek certification from the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). In contrast, as Harvard expands into Allston, it has committed that all buildings and landscapes will conform to a LEED Gold Standard, according to the Harvard Gazette...
...aligned with the civilian perspective. I am doing it because this line has changed,” says Greenvald of the motivation behind his involvement in the exhibit. “The line had to change,” he adds.Greenvald’s testimony stands in contrast to Asher A.

Both of those aspiring successors were dealing with incumbents whose numbers were still relatively healthy - Bush's, by contrast, are stuck in the low thirties and not likely to go anywhere with the economy worsening. Whatever help he gets from him in private, McCain needs to put distance between himself and W in public; he knows better than anyone that the Democrats are more than happy to link...
