...farms and solar arrays, and it's also part of a growing trend toward local production of goods and services, including energy. "Mini-wind turbines and solar arrays should become familiar household fixtures," according to Joanna Collins, author of the British environmental think-tank Green Alliance's A Microgeneration Manifesto. "These new technologies cut greenhouse-gas emissions [and] provide reliable energy supplies...
...Thomas Vinterberg decided to forget everything they knew about filmmaking. Looking for a way to break what they considered bad habits behind the camera - like using music to set a mood or relying on clever editing to boost a weak scene - they drafted The Vow of Chastity, a manifesto with 10 rules to strip cinema down to its barest essentials.

Besting the traditional kissing of babies, the Liberal Democrats' leader, Charles Kennedy, produced one, his first son, Donald - and then proceeded to make sloppy campaign appearances in an admittedly sleep-deprived state. And when Prime Minister Tony Blair launched Labour's manifesto flanked by six Cabinet ministers all standing at space-age lecterns, one question was inevitable: "Who is the weakest link?" - a reference to the TV game show where the worst-performing contestants get voted off. The reporter suggested it might be Blair himself, whose popularity has been flagging, especially compared with that...
