Powell had lived, for roughly the past year, in the Haze. The crowds kept growing. Their praise and pleas were a river carrying him swiftly past all the rules and rites that attend a race for the presidency. Pundits talked of his star quality, the ability to make a room go quiet when he walked in. But it was not the bright beam of a supernova, a demagogue's dazzle.

While other neighborhood boys in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn saw their futures disintegrate in a haze of drugs, crime and broken homes, the three Banks boys thrived.

Siberian industrial emissions contribute heavily to the threat of global warming, which in turn may come back to burn the region. Nearly two-thirds of the region lies atop permafrost. Climate models estimate that even a small temperature rise globally...
