The levy is "not something we're prepared to support," U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in response to Brown's call.

...discovery was worth the wait. Analysis of the water ice may give scientists an eons-long look at environmental history: any ice lurking in the shadows of lunar craters would have been there for a long, long time - billions of years, even.

Needless to say, I can’t wait to see what the new office is going to look like next season, let alone what a Draper bachelor pad will hold. If Joan’s return is evidence of anything, it’s that change is coming, and those who can see it coming just in time will be the ones to make...
