...Knock Nader! I had to chuckle at Joel Stein's essay in which he argued that Ralph Nader should apologize for running for President in 2000 [March 10]. Stein and the Democrats don't understand the Nader voter. I voted for him because I didn't feel the Democrats deserved my vote. As a longtime liberal, I'm interested in a truly progressive Democratic Party, not one that is Republican lite. If Nader weren't running this year, I still wouldn't vote for a Democrat. The party should stop complaining about Nader and try to earn my vote...
...massive scale to solve climate change. Other pieces include Justin Fox's take on the coming era of austerity; David Van Biema on the re-Judaizing of Jesus and what it means for mainstream religion; Barbara Kiviat's essay on the death of customer service; and Joel Stein's tour of the new kitchen, in which the science of chemistry and the art of cooking are revolutionizing the way we make dinner. You can't get closer to home than that...

"We're getting the message that homeowners aren't interested in environmentally irresponsible things," says Joel Lerner, founder of Maryland-based landscaping firm Environmental Design. Here's how you can have a garden that's green?in both senses of the word...
Then there are Joe Bradley's big bright canvases, such as Cavalry, 2007, which combine the resolutely abstract boxes and rectangles of Minimalist and color-field painting into cartoon-character formations. It's a bit of an art-history joke, and one that sculptor Joel Shapiro played with more than 20 years ago in 3-D. But Bradley's ferocious colors and color contrasts give his work a weirdly commanding presence, one made weirder still by all those infantile silhouettes...
