...cherry-blossom time in Kyoto, Japan, and I am dancing the hula for Shigeru Miyamoto. It's not easy to get into the hula spirit in a hushed conference room in a restricted area of the gleaming white global headquarters of Nintendo, with several high-ranking, business-suited Japanese executives watching my every (undulating) move. But I'm doing my best. I'm trying out an electronic device that the Nintendo brass devoutly believes, or at least fervently hopes, is the future of entertainment. Outside, drifting pink petals remind us of the impermanence of all things...
...grew up in Berkeley who has never once voted for a Republican, or crossed a picket line, or failed to send in a small check when the Doctors Without Borders envelope showed up.

I believe that allowing migrant women and children to die of thirst in American...

...Thank you for good, timely coverage of global warming. It is beyond my comprehension how the world's leading democracy and sole superpower can be so ignorant and not endorse the Kyoto treaty. Each of us, however, must make an effort to show our respect to Mother Earth. I do my part by driving an electric car in town, and there is no sacrifice in that. Emil S. Werring Oslo...
