...Voice I am an environmental educator who works internationally, and I bought the "Heroes of the Environment" special issue with great interest [Oct. 29]. However, I was disappointed to see Virgin tycoon Richard Branson alongside real environmental heroes such as Gaia theorist James Lovelock and Green Belt Movement co-founder Wangari Maathai. Although the writer defended Branson's inclusion, I am not convinced. I acknowledge that he is giving a large sum of money to scientific research for developing clean fuels, and this will certainly help our fight. But his environmental efforts are akin to offsetting long-haul flights...
...we’d like you to come,’” he said.Along with his family, Reitan attended a Washington, D.C. demonstration for gay rights. Karslake’s cameras went along for the protest, which featured the Reitans reading an open letter to Jim Dobson, founder of evangelical group Focus on the Family.

Normally, plants neutralize nitrogen dioxide, which they recognize as harmful. But Aresa scientists, led by founder Meier, have genetically engineered thale-cress, fusing its nitrogen dioxide neutralizer with an enzyme that creates red pigment (plants naturally produce red pigment, which isn't visible until the green disappears in autumn...
...founder of Genesis, while still at England's tony Charterhouse public school, Gabriel, now 36, has an extensive rock pedigree. When he left the band in 1975 and went solo, he remained a restless creative force but gave up much of his commercial clout. The rhythmic complexities of his songs wove eerie aural patterns through which lyrics chased each other like phantoms from a surrealist serial. The music was simultaneously challenging and forbidding, and Gabriel was typed unfairly as an elitist working in a populist form. Biko began breaking this image down, and the So album...
