...night?”). I don’t mean to say that these works don’t reward careful examination, but rather that they don’t require it: it would be hard to imagine the tremendous show of Weimar painting, “Glitter and Doom,”—displayed at the Met last winter—being put up in the summer, simply because it demands so much more analysis than a casual museum-goer is willing to give. Rather, summer exhibitions feel like summer movies, complete with high-budget special effects...
Unfortunately, this prophecy of doom may prove self-fulfilling. The GOP seems certain to lose the White House. On top of a reenergized Democratic Party, Republicans suffer from a malaise surrounding their presidential candidates. But this angst over the Republican primary is not due to an actual lack of conservatism among the candidates. Rather, Republicans are looking for a perfect candidate, which sadly doesn’t exist. And unless Republicans realize that no one candidate will rescue them, they’ll see a lot of blue on election night...
...main reason for the boom's doom was that in the nation's San Diegos, double-digit annual price increases put most homes out of the reach of middle-income buyers.

While such fears are understandable, we believe that, in the long term, news sources that strive...
...After an hour of doom and gloom, the film shifts into problem-solving mode - as it must, to keep us from feeling so much eco-anxiety that we'll want to commit eco-suicide. The solutions promoted here are very much design-oriented, showing all the ways we can plot and plan our way to a more energy-efficient, sustainable tomorrow, today. Green architecture gets star placement, and eco-design gurus like William MacDonough talk about the need to create "cradle-to-cradle" products that can be recycled, or reincarnated, over and over. It might be a conscious choice...
