...Avoiding JordanRe Andrew Butters' postcard from the Jordan River: The river has never been "deep and wide" [Sept. 15]. And the so-called "Island of Peace" was the site of a massacre in 1997 when a Jordanian soldier opened fire and killed seven Israeli schoolgirls on an outing. David Holtzer, Jerusalem...
Welcome to the late-stage-combat portion of the campaign to lead the free world. Tough attacks, misinformation and anonymous smears are multiplying as both campaigns surrender some control of the conversation to outside groups and dirty tricksters with deep pockets and technological know-how. Legitimate interest groups, high-powered unions and wealthy individuals plan to spend millions on television advertisements, direct mail and computer-generated phone calls over the coming weeks, almost all of them negative. These efforts will be supplemented by a lot of stuff that is even worse, like the faceless fax blast Cohen received...
...coast, it breaks off into the Ilulissat fjord, a stream of churning ice that might have birthed the monster that sunk the Titanic. Those icebergs are spat out into Disko Bay, 20 billion metric tons' worth every year, where they loom above the tiny fishing boats that ply these deep, cold waters. Sail close and you'll find that these seemingly permanent cathedrals of ice, some 200 ft. to 300 ft. high, are leaking water like broken pipes. They're dying...
...firsthand look at such heroism this summer when I joined a team of international researchers led by Dahl-Jensen at the NEEM camp in Greenland. NEEM stands for North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling (the acronym is Danish, as are the leaders of the project), and the scientists are digging deep into the Greenland ice--more than a mile and a half deep to be precise--to try to understand its pedigree. Depth is time, and the lower you go, the further back in history you travel. As ice formed in Greenland, year after cold year, bits of atmosphere were trapped...
...pacing is flawless, and the trash level is just right. And One Fifth Avenue has other virtues that are harder to explain. It has an actual Weltanschauung--it gets at the deep truth of shallow people. Women control men with sex. Men control women with money. With rare exceptions, marriage is a Punch-and-Judy slugfest that ends with either divorce or one party's total subjugation. Power and pleasure are the only things that are real, and they endlessly swap places as means and end. Everybody in One Fifth Avenue, good and bad, is bound by these rules...
