...Seeing the Fluorescent Light Thank you, TIME, for giving us solid reasons to be hopeful on the crucial energy issue [Jan. 12]. With incentives for energy efficiency, the economy would hum with millions of local projects requiring little or no government planning. Moreover, by choosing a relatively low-tech policy that the world could readily copy, we would at last become leaders in climate protection - and in rejecting the needless and dangerous expansion of nuclear power. Egan O'Connor, San Francisco...
...Sons of Liberty your article on democracy in asia misunderstood why a Thai middle class that once rallied against military rule brought down two democratic governments in Bangkok [Jan. 12].

At the start of “Oratorio,” the stage is dominated by its red velvet curtain and a large chest of drawers, offering little hint of the spectacle to come. Shortly after the house lights...
Park was arrested on Jan. 10 for a Dec. 29 posting in which he accused bureaucrats of ordering banks to stop buying dollars while the won was falling during last December's global economic crisis. The official news agency Yonhap reported that Park was also arrested for a July 2008 posting that said the Finance Ministry had suspended all foreign currency exchanges. Park's lawyer, Park Chan Jong, says prosecutors are alleging that the posting destabilized the foreign currency market to such an extent that an additional $2.2 billion injection was needed the next day to calm the market...
