...though he published a greenish book last year called A Contract with the Earth, doesn't really support the We Campaign's goals - a fact that was made clear this summer when he mounted a new crusade in favor of virtually limitless oil drilling. That's not exactly the fault of the We Campaign, but it does point to the real challenge of what Gore and his allies have set out to do. Slowing carbon emissions, let alone reaching Gore's goal of 100% carbon-free electricity in a decade, will require sweeping changes in governmental policy - the kind...

...death at Stockwell Underground station. The tragic bungle came 15 days after terror attacks in the capital killed 52 people and the morning after a second, failed bombing attempt. The shooting has already been the subject of two reports by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), which found some fault with the handling of the original operation and the response to it among top brass.
