Bryan Walsh has a fascinating piece about the idea of geoengineering: how, instead of fixing or curing the earth, we might re-engineer it on a massive scale to solve climate change. Other pieces include Justin...
...that would be the end of it." That may have been a fair assumption, on his part, given the notorious corruption among Argentine customs agents. But among her fellow agents, Telpuk had a reputation for naive honesty. "Once a passenger dropped a huge wad of dollar bills on my counter and didn't notice, I chased after him down the runway waving his money in the air.
