...those negotiations, but their success and failure will come down to two countries: the U.S. and China. If the world's two biggest carbon emitters can agree to cap their greenhouse gas emissions - neither signed on for limits under Kyoto - we may stand a chance of averting the grimmest consequences of climate change.

One of the darkest shows that the Loeb Experimental Theater has seen this year, “Pelican” demonstrates the futility of “sleepwalking” through life in denial of abuse. This production of “Pelican” avoids sleepwalking in any form, and the cast and crew have navigated a difficult play...
