...Vladimir Ryzhkov, a democratic opposition leader and a rare independent member of the Duma, maintains that since the U.S. started this controversy by walking out of the ABM Treaty in 2002, there is a grain of truth in Putin's assertion that Russia was forced to respond. But Ryzhkov sees Putin's saber-rattling as "primarily an election-year message to the country: 'Your leader won't budge, no matter who formally becomes next President'."

Wandering the cavernous information hall at Live Earth's Tokyo site on Saturday - munching on a whole-grain, locally made peanut butter muffin and browsing for a 100% hemp towel - I noticed the solar panels. Like the events in Sydney, Shanghai, London, Washington and other cities, Live Earth Tokyo was intended as a rock festival-cum-environmental fair, where concertgoers could learn about the energy-saving benefits of fluorescent lightbulbs while jamming to groups like Genesis, who reformed for the London show.

...equally as wonderful as Harvard’s Cambridge campus, with design, materials, proportions, and continuity echoing the excellence of Harvard’s campus today. Environmental sustainability will be built into every design decision, from the roads to the heating and cooling to the pedestrian walkways. The urban grain of one of America’s oldest cities will be respected, and the plan for open space will embrace the green vision of famed 19th century landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. As the Allston Initiative advances, the University orientation will lean more toward a campus with the Charles River...
