...host to giant oil multinationals that are conducting oil-exploration activities. In the process of searching for oil, large quantities of gas have been flared throughout my over 30 years of existence and are still being flared. I was never bothered by the gas flares until I read Al Gore's Earth in the Balance, from which I learned they are a great contributor to global warming. I became enlightened but at the same time frightened by the damage done to my immediate environment and the greater world. As an African, my interest in the environment was further aroused when...
...Dance. Sharp-shooting Ryan Wittman was the Ivy Rookie of the Year last season, scoring 15.6 points per game mostly by hoisting up a stunning 216 three-balls—and draining 43 percent of them. The league’s top freshman from the year before, Adam Gore, missed all of last season with a torn ACL, but he’s another guy who can score in bunches. And Louis Dale is a dynamic point guard with excellent rebounding skills for a six-footer.Cornell checks out well in the key indicators. Last season, it was second in the league...
...more conspicuous way: they drive Toyota Priuses, the hybrid-engine vehicles that get over 40 miles to the gallon. Computer scientist Margo I. Seltzer ’83, a recent Prius convert, says she started feeling guilty about her ’96 Toyota Corolla when she saw Al Gore ’69’s “An Inconvenient Truth” over the summer.

...Both candidates are finding their voice now in opposition to the status quo," said Donna Brazile, who ran Al Gore's 2000 campaign and has not endorsed a candidate this cycle. "They are defining Clinton as 'more of the same.' There's still time to catch up with Clinton, but they must do so without trying to cancel each other out. In that race, Clinton scores a knockout." The original version of this article incorrectly stated that Peverill Squire is currently a professor at Georgetown. Squire now teaches at the University of Missouri...
...come from the Niger Delta, where multinational companies are exploring for oil, a process that involves the flaring of large quantities of gas. I had never been concerned about these continuous gas flares until about 10 years ago, when I read Al Gore's book Earth in the Balance. My interest in environmentalism was further aroused by the 2004 award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Wangari Maathai, who was also named among your Heroes. Thank you for taking out time to celebrate these and other people who are working so hard to protect our planetary home. Timi Songi, Yenagoa...
