...environment, Obama’s cap-and-trade proposal is a market-friendly, politically palatable way to reduce carbon emissions. This solution will establish a finite number of pollution permits—and thus a finite cap on pollution—that companies would be required to buy and trade in an open market. Not only will this efficiently reduce carbon emissions, but the administration projects that it would raise $79 billion in revenue. Importantly, the flexibility of cap-and-trade should make it a politically viable alternative to solutions like the gas tax, which has faced undeserved popular...
...about the ideas he seems to find so intriguing. We may have to reconsider McGinn’s last-minute assertion that the book itself is not a mindfuck.

Harvard filled Ivica’s void by committee, relying on freshman Dan Shreff, senior Jeff Nathan, and sophomore Shaun Mansour to step up. Despite improving performances...
...That's why the President asked us to establish a court. And what happened was kind of a grand experiment. We're different from what happened in Rwanda or Yugoslavia. We are in-country. We are a partnership between the country and the U.N. Except for Taylor, all the trials are being held at the scene of the crime. The judges and the court staff are mixed between international and Sierra Leonean. And we keep people informed of what's going on.
