The U.S. should either ratify the Kyoto Protocol or propose an equally effective alternative. Promoting technological innovation to reduce climate change without reducing greenhouse gas emissions will not eliminate the risk of more Katrinas. When bankruptcy threatens, one does not simply study how to cut expenses; one actually cuts expenses. Besides, there is no better incentive for technological innovation than...
...staying ahead in electronics is a relentless challenge. A host of new technologies could disrupt LCD's emergence just as easily as LCD has begun to supplant cathode-ray tubes. Even against existing technologies, Sharp faces a formidable battle. Junzo Masuda, director of iSuppli, a market-research firm in Kyoto, says the real test is how Sharp's big-screen TVs ultimately fare against plasma display panels (PDPs), the dominant type of large-screen, flat-panel displays.

...early weeks of gestation." A photo of a 6-week fetus was helpfully provided for comparison. At the other end of the political spectrum, environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was blaming the hurricane on ... Haley Barbour, the Governor of Mississippi, who played a "central role ... derailing the Kyoto Protocol" on global warming. Kennedy's larger point was defensible-global warming may well cause extreme weather patterns-but the implication that one man and one (flawed) treaty might have prevented this storm seemed a bit much...
