...platinum-clad NBC demographic: the "West Wing" and "Law & Order" booths were by far the most crowded with photograph seekers. And to answer your most pressing question of all: there were, alas, no little chicken kabobs, dear reader. The highlight by far was the barbecued pork in mini blue-corn-tortilla shells. The sliced steak, however, was a touch overcooked, but the ad buyers, NBC staff and journos lined up for it anyway, chewing poorly executed red meat - that emblematic food of the long stock boom - as if they needed another reminder, besides the numbers staring at them in their...
...more seriously, a range of proposals, old and new, are coming to the fore. They include: reducing waste in irrigation (providing more drip to the drop); desalinating (where energy sources and funds permit, as in Saudi Arabia); recycling; making appropriate local choices of crops and grain-fed animals (growing corn rather than wheat in areas where water is not plentiful, raising chickens rather than pigs); employing low-cost chlorination and solar disinfectant techniques; increasing water "harvesting" - from sources like rain and fog - for agricultural use, particularly at village level; and transportation of potable water in giant polyurethane bags...

Now it has reached the point that on weekend nights, it's hard to find anyone in the slum who isn't smoking the mad medicine...
...There are three things Nebraskans are proud of, the submariners told me: the University of Nebraska football team, the corn the state grows, and this Trident submarine. I believe it. The state has a Big Red Sub Club that routinely flies Nebraska crewmen back to the state for parades and football games. When I was in Nebraska this weekend, I was given an honorary commission in the Nebraska Admirals Association, signed by Nebraska governor Mike Johanns, for writing a book on "their" sub. I was also named an honorary "commander" in the Big Red Sub Club...
