...moms are and will be a powerful force to promote stronger gun control, both strategically and emotionally. Lawmakers are likely and rightly influenced by their pathos and their logic. If they are not, the moms should try the other tried-and-true method of gaining political change. When marching doesn't get results, even when there's a million, civil disobedience is the next step. The moms should remember mothers of the past--moms like Rosa Parks and the suffragettes--who were willing to do much more than march for their cause...
...director Andrew Boch '02 seem to struggle with understanding their own universe. One awkward example arises from the fact that both Chaffin and John Gravois play Matthew Circland at age 42, yet Gravois has been 42 for 21 years. This seems to contradict the text's own (generally acceptable) logic. The problem manifests itself as a result of the overlap in the existence of the two Matthews. While other Matthews appear (Jeff Klann, age 21 and Matthew Ciborowski, age 12), Chaffin's Matthew clashes less directly with them; they exist as memories (whether based in experience or fantasy) within...

We must help them adopt clean-energy technologies that offer both prosperity and a healthy environment. On my visit last month to India, the government there took a major step in that direction: by 2012, it declared, at least 1 of every 10 new kilowatts of power will come from renewable energy...
...instinct is to confer with the village elders. He is now starting to focus on ways of protecting the dugong (sea cow) and the hawksbill turtle, both of which are vulnerable to fishermen. He is optimistic because two decades of his campaigning have shown the majority of Palauans the logic behind conservation. "I don't think the next generation will eat turtle, for example," he says. His success in preserving Palau's marine life is also beginning to win over other Pacific islands. "The FSM [Federated States of Micronesia] and Pohnpei are planning to follow what we did," he says...
