Indeed, several international studies, including one published by Harvard University, say that raw coca is loaded with protein, calcium, iron and a range of vitamins. As a result, Morales has encouraged a local industry, with an eye to exporting, that is turning coca into everything from flour to toothpaste, shampoo and curative lotions. (Morales sent Fidel Castro a coca cake for his 80th birthday last year.)

But what about social injustice? How do I dissect the sources to find the sin? I try not to litter, but I have to drive. Am I a sinner...
...directly through geoengineering. The principle behind it is straightforward - compensate for an intensified greenhouse effect by reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching the earth - but the techniques seem like pure science fiction. Just a few: using orbital mirrors to bounce sunlight back into space, fertilizing the oceans with iron to amplify their ability to absorb carbon and even painting roofs white to increase solar reflection...
...maybe a protective tarp or two. But both students and Harvard staff agree that their neglect is due less to student apathy than to a dearth of readily available information about these works.Tucked away near the sunken entrance to Pusey Library lies an Alexander Calder stabile, an abstract wrought-iron construction entitled “Onion” and completed in 1965. In another quiet corner of the Yard sits Henry Moore’s harmonious 1972 sculpture “Four Piece Reclining Figure.” This statue is especially inconspicuous during the winter months, when it usually...
