...that have ratified the Kyoto treaty to reduce emissions--an imperfect accord, to be sure, but an accord all the same. The U.S., however, which is home to less than 5% of Earth's population but produces 25% of CO2 emissions, remains intransigent. Many environmentalists declared the Bush Administration hopeless from the start, and while that may have been premature, it's undeniable that the White House's environmental record--from the abandonment of Kyoto to the President's broken campaign pledge to control carbon output to the relaxation of emission standards--has been dismal. George W. Bush's recent...
...shiver, that make Frederick’s character fully-fleshed.Dorin (an HRDC veteran who produced last semester’s “The Alchemist”) does a fantastic job of mediating these performances and evoking a mood that is dark and Gothic, yet not totally hopeless. Dorin’s choice of a play-within-a-play form really suits the inward-focused themes that characterize both plays: the loneliness of physical deprivation, the importance of writing as a tool for communication, and the possibility of an ancestral cycle of trauma and abuse.

The guard attempts to rescue her from solitary confinement, but fails and is executed for betraying the state. Other than that, everyone lives happily ever after...
...first type of divestment demand is first and foremost a tactic used by organizers to manufacture an opportunity to talk about the actual issues. In this light, Summers did the petition-circulators an immense favor: he catapulted a hopeless divestment call from obscure e-mail lists to the pages of The New York Times. Summers likely did this to establish in the national press a strong test for discrimination with respect to anti-Semitism. (Summers, notably, would never support such strong a test for discrimination on any other issue.) He harnessed the same power of the divestment demand that...
