...these quotas. Gore ?- and Hillary too ?- is counting on union support to win, and Clinton?s opposition is going to make them angry." It already has. The United Steelworkers of America arranged to have steelworkers descend on the Capitol today for a rally, reminding lawmakers (and law-vetoers) that global trade can affect votes. Will the Senate put West Virginia before world affairs, and pass the quota bill (it passed the House overwhelmingly in March)? Or will the Man of Steel (formerly the Man of Jell-O) prevail in his fight for ?- gasp ?- what he thinks is right...
...wanted to question whether global warming is indeed upon us, last week was not the time to do it. Two weeks before the official beginning of summer, a heat wave baked the eastern third of the U.S. and Canada, driving temperatures high into the 90s and even 100s. At the same time, a flurry of scientific papers was released that seemed to explain all the late-spring suffering. In one study, French researchers reported that heat-trapping greenhouse gases are at their highest levels in 420,000 years. In another, U.S. scientists found that 57 species of butterfly...

Filthy as the cloud is, it does deflect solar radiation, and that could lead to cooling. But scientists warn that we cannot simply pollute our way out of global warming. The soot drops from the hazy atmosphere in weeks, whereas greenhouse gases remain for centuries...
...Odometer, and John Paul took it -? and the Jubilee that would mark it -- very seriously. The next 20 years, from his precedent-bending inaugural speech from the Vatican balcony to his two-week pilgrimage to thank his first flock, were a run-up to this, a global celebration of humanity and the faith 1 billion of them hold dear. He worked tirelessly to bring his church everywhere it was wanted, and insisted just as tirelessly that this church would still be recognizable to him when he was done. He is tired now. But unswerving Catholics, anyway, shouldn...
