...into account the context of a building - where it is. A design could win a Platinum LEED rating - the highest possible award - but it can't really be described as environmentally friendly if it's part of a sprawling neighborhood that just adds to car dependency. "It doesn't matter how green you are if your house in the suburb still generates 14 car trips a day, which is the American average," says Duany. "But that's complicated to get across, because it's not high-tech...
...recriminations. "You **** ! I told you, it's all your fault. You should talk less, and think before you open your mouth. Why are you so stupid? Can you tell me that? No!

Skeptics warn that taking steps to ban Scientology could backfire, either by driving members underground or by making them appear as victims of state persecution. The 1997 government probe prompted several Hollywood stars, including Dustin Hoffman and Goldie Hawn, to sign an advertisement printed in German newspapers comparing the move to the repression of Jews...
