...movie has been made of his life. But Pacquiao says the full details of that life couldn't possibly fit into just one film. There are things to clear up. For one, he did not leave ramshackle General Santos City, a camp of tin and thatch, to pursue boxing, even though he did love the sport. He left home at 14 because his mother Dionisia, who did odd jobs and factory work and hawked vegetables by roadsides, wasn't really making enough to feed her six children.

Our Choice discusses the causes of global warming (fossil fuels, deforestation), viable solutions (renewable energy) and ways to make these solutions a reality (a CO[subscript 2] tax and a cap-and-trade system). It's packed with scientific data explained in painstaking detail--including a full-page graphic on how a wind turbine works--but it reads like a homework assignment.
