...water, paying residents to replace thirsty lawns with desert-appropriate landscaping. The city's overall water use has dropped since 2002, even as population and visitor numbers have continued to rise, and Mulroy thinks Las Vegas still has room--and water--to develop smartly. "It's not whether you grow but how you grow," she says...
...context of Wright's anger, though, Obama is counting on voters to accept nuance in an arena that almost always rewards simplicity over complexity. Politicians tend to offer deliberately banal choices: Either we move forward or we fall backward, either we let the economy falter or we help it grow, either we succumb to our enemies or we defeat them - the choice is up to you, America!

Either we move forward or fall backward, either we let the economy falter or we help it grow, either we succumb to our enemies or we defeat them - the choice is up to you, America! Obama's either/or formulation is not nearly so banal. Explicitly asking Americans to grapple with racial divisions, and then transcend them - that's a bold request. Will they comply? Obama's presidential hopes depend...
