Water, not oil, is the most precious fluid in our lives, the substance from which all life on the earth has sprung and continues to depend. If we run short of oil and other fossil fuels, we can use alternative energy sources. If we have no clean, drinkable water, we are doomed. As the 6 billion passengers aboard Spaceship Earth enter a complex new century, few issues are as fundamental as water. We are falling far short of the most basic humanitarian goals: sufficient and affordable clean water, food and energy for everyone. "I cannot bear to watch the nations...

He lovingly traces down her slender figure, caressing her bare feet as they touch the pedals, thus turning her playing into a corporeally total experience, rather than a nexus between limbs and the mind. Alternately, when not gliding around the performers, Trueba breaks...
...must hold that this illness is everyone’s fault but mine. Yes, I try to wash my hands before every meal, I get plenty of sleep, and choke down those immune system-building veggies. I avoid idly touching mucous membranes and (involuntarily) avoid any wholesale bodily fluid transfers. It is all of you who don’t get enough sleep, don’t eat right and suck face like there’s no tomorrow, then come to class to inject your fellow more puritanical classmates with your pestilence. By treating illness as just another challenge...
