...Imagining a New NATO In Light of the Global Threat of Terrorism, Walter Isaacson asked, "What would George Marshall and Dean Acheson be doing now?" [Feb. 5]. Isaacson suggested that they might be forging a Mideast Antiterrorism Organization (MATO) whose members would include Israel and Iraq. I doubt it. I rather suspect that Marshall and Acheson would be saying they told us so. Both men were vehemently opposed to the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine because they recognized that it was immoral and that it would open up a can of worms that would haunt the region...
...critics see it, that's where the latest disarmament deal falls short. Former Clinton Administration officials say the agreement is a close facsimile of the Agreed Framework signed by Washington and Pyongyang in 1994. That deal called for the North to halt nuclear-weapons development in return for two light-water nuclear-power plants, which are difficult to use to generate fissile material for bombs. Clinton's presidency ended before the power plants could be completed and the projects today are derelict-evidence, in Pyongyang's eyes, of Washington's bad faith. But those who defend the Agreed Framework...
...million renovation, the museum has won praise for the extent to which it now references its surroundings. The exterior architecture was inspired in part by the tectonic plates that gave rise to Alaska's mountains. Large windows flood the interior with light. In the new art gallery, paintings and photographs hang next to ceremonial objects and carvings by Alaskan natives-the message being that traditional crafts have as much cultural importance as fine art.

...with or without the federal government. Carbon trading is already happening in Australia's suburbs and towns. For instance, in New South Wales, the Greenhouse Gas Abatement Scheme imposes annual reduction targets on electricity retailers; other companies that carry out work to reduce greenhouse gases (by installing energy-efficient light globes and water-saving showerheads or planting trees) can create so-called "abatement certificates." Polluters can buy these to offset their own emissions. Since 2003, about 37 million tons have been traded, worth more than $A400 million, making N.S.W. one of the largest carbon markets in the world...
