Such stopgaps are needed because the aging transmission lines that link U.S. regions make it difficult to move power swiftly to where it is needed. "If energy is the lifeblood [of the economy], transmission is the arteries and the veins," says Thomas Kuhn, president of the Edison Electric Institute, which represents major power companies. But "congestion on the system has increased a tremendous amount," Kuhn notes, because the U.S. hasn't expanded its 2,000-mile grid of high-voltage lines in more than a decade...

...panelists clashed over the roles that coal and natural gas should play in expanding supply. Richardson wants new plants to use natural gas because coal-fired generators spew carbon dioxide that contributes to global warming. Kuhn notes, however, that coal prices are typically lower and more stable than natural-gas prices and argues that better technology promises to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions as well...
Both Joplin and Nyro (who died of cancer in 1997) are back together onstage, after a fashion--each being celebrated in a new off-Broadway show. In Eli's Comin', five performers (including golden-voiced Broadway vet Judy Kuhn) wend their way through a bookless compendium of 20 of Nyro's best-known songs. Though assembled into a very loose narrative (young girl arrives in New York City; by the end she's sharing confessions with what looks like a therapy group), the show works best--marvelously--as a showcase for Nyro's idiosyncratic and influential music, a lush, emotionally...
...like Mel Gibson in Braveheart, fighting for his love of freedom." A state-produced TV mini-series premiering in October will present the Dutch as scheming to divide China. In fact, they were ensconced in Indonesia, "with no plans for a big presence in Taiwan," says Philip Kuhn, a Harvard historian. "They held out for a while and then said the hell with it." That's a piece of history unlikely to be portrayed on film. Beijing even plans to promote the film abroad. "We must let foreigners know that China's hero is not inferior to 007," declares Wang...
