...course, the issues are complicated and could require decades and trillions of dollars to resolve. But part of the problem is that it's easier to protest, to hurl venom at practices you don't like, than to find new ways to do business and create change. The dogma of traditional green activism--that business (and economic growth) is the enemy, that financial markets can't be trusted, that compromise means failure--has done little to save the planet. Which means it's fair to ask the question: Have some of the greens' tactics actually made things worse...
...question remains: Why, of all the styles designers hurl down the runway, did jeans catch on as chic? If dressing is a form of self-expression, jeans articulate what Americans want to say now. "People want authenticity," says Andrew Bolton, associate curator at the Costume Institute. "That's why vintage jeans--with that lineage back to the miners--have a huge appeal."

The trial reaches the eyes and ears of thousands of Bosnians, Croats and Serbs through local television broadcasts, and it would certainly smooth relations with them if Clinton were to testify to America?...
Here's a modest proposal. As Kennedy notes, the main reason blacks use the N word among themselves is to take away its power to hurt and demean when white people hurl it at them. But when whites try to use it in the ways blacks do, it falls flat because it lacks authenticity. So, instead of copycatting black slang, it would make more sense for white would-be hipsters to demonstrate a little originality by calling themselves slurs that blacks have used to demean white people, such as cracker, honky or ofay. They could even give the epithets...
