...Like his fellow Arizona border land managers, DiRosa said he is practicing "triage - trying to figure out what to sacrifice to save the whole." Of the 1,200 miles of illegal roads and footpaths, some 450 miles are entrenched, the denuded desert pounded out to "moon dust." Some tracks are 100 yards wide and, even if abandoned, will take several generations to return to wilderness. When it rains, they turn into vast dry creek beds, distorting the rainfall patterns. Beyond the roads are staging areas so polluted with human waste and garbage that DiRosa must bring in commercial cleanup crews...
...Many credit Hergé, whose real name was Georges Remi, with inventing much of the visual grammar that defines modern comics. His books involve masterly plots and a depth of humor, artistry, detail and characterization. His iconic comic strip hero travelled the world fighting crime and ventured to the moon a full decade before Neil Armstrong...
...flushed and a little bleary. He was in the throes of an eight-show week-4,000 people in Regina, Sask.; 1,200 in Indianapolis; 2,000 near Utica, N.Y.; a flight to New York City the night before for a meeting with U.N.

Yet adherence to these traditions was not free from controversy. One song, “It Depends On What...
...have the chance over the next few years to eradicate some of the most deadly diseases of the world: tuberculosis, polio, diptheria, malaria. What we need is the political will to do so. If our generation can say in the '60s they put a man on the moon, and in 2007 we made sure that every child on earth had the chance of education and every one of those diseases that are avoidable we managed to eradicate them, that would be a great tribute to the concern and the moral sense of this generation...
