...dauntingly complex, physicist Robert Socolow and ecologist Stephen Pacala have come up with a remarkably straightforward way of approaching it. To stabilize the world's carbon emissions, they propose not chasing a single magic bullet but harnessing seven different categories of reduction, using available technology. Their goal is to draw a road map for reducing CO2 emissions that is both realistic and effective...
...possible martial law. In Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis, which briefly hit business best-seller lists in 2005 and will feature next year in a documentary film by the makers of acclaimed crossword-puzzle geekfest Wordplay, financial-newsletter authors William Bonner and Addison Wiggin draw parallels between the early 21st century U.S. and the decline of Rome and imperial Spain.

Such flexibility is hard to find at a bank "and really keeps a loan on track," says...
...when the work is the hardest. Most Europeans are like that. As individual nations, we may argue over the garden fence, but when a neighbor's house goes up in flames, we pull together and put out the fire. History suggests it sometimes takes an emergency for us to draw closer. Looking inward won't cut it. As a professional navel gazer, I recommend against that form of therapy for anything other than songwriting. We discover who we are in service to one another, not the self...
