TIME's coverage of environmental issues has grown right along with Earth Day. The brainchild of former Senator Gaylord Nelson, it began in the U.S. as a day of ragtag demonstrations on April 22, 1970, and now, on its 30th anniversary, is an Internet-driven global happening. TIME caught the wave even before the first Earth Day, establishing our Environment section in August 1969. Over the years the section has produced dozens of cover stories, including the 1989 special report in which we named Endangered Earth as Planet of the Year. In 1998 our U.S. edition launched a two-year...
...teaches and still enjoys students. "Some don't know anything," he says. "They don't know how to write at all. Some, however, almost the same percentage as earlier, speak well, write well, are intelligent, read closely, are sympathetic."

On Thursday, Bush reaffirmed his position that the flag is a state issue. Now he finds himself trapped between states' rights purists and moral purists, between presenting himself as a man of conviction and bending to public opinion, and between his vision of an expanded federal government and a strong position on state sovereignty...
...this technology-driven economy, support for education should receive top priority to ensure that no students are left in the dust on the information superhighway. It is unfortunate that last Monday, the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School (CRLS) passed their budget without any mention of an extra $450,000 that top officials said it needed to open the school promptly and successfully. This decision by the Cambridge School Committee is short-sighted and could doom the school's reform efforts to failure...
