...against terrorism. Thank God, the media do not dictate U.S. policy and the general public is smarter than you are. Sam Thomas New Hyde Park, New York, U.S. Security in the Global Market Columnist Joe Klein's "It's economic security, stupid" [March 13] hit the nail on the head. The U.S. response to the now defunct Dubai Ports deal was a global public relations nightmare. Although I agree with Klein that a "drastically revised social safety net for American workers" would ease the collective American insecurities and provide a more rational and less emotional view of the growing global...
...Tsitsikamma's treetops by strapping themselves onto a web of steel cables threaded through the forest canopy. Biologists studying the flora and fauna in the Costa Rican cloud- and rain-forest canopies invented the system in the 1980s. It's an adventure that is eco-friendly - not one nail or bolt is drilled into a tree, as the whole system is held together with tension and leverage forces. The highest point is 30m above the ground, and you can reach speeds of up to 50km/h. And if you're after a bit of wildlife to go with your whooping...
...longer a warlike Germany that buzzes but an industrious China, and soon India. As in previous ruptures, France today faces a major choice.

In short, France has to topple...

Although I agree with Klein that a "drastically revised social safety net for American workers" would ease the collective American insecurities and provide a more rational and less emotional view of the growing global economy, I don't see that becoming a reality anytime soon. Universal health insurance and government-subsidized pensions smack of socialism and would inevitably draw protest, even from those who would benefit most...
...author Shannon Lush goes shopping, readers bustle up to her, eager to share their triumphs: "They'll say, 'I did it! I did what you said and it worked!'" Part of the thrill, she says, is that whether it was getting mold off the edge of the bath or nail polish off the sheets, they've done it with products that cost next to nothing and were likely already in the kitchen cupboards. Lush's cleaning staples are the same ones everybody's great-grandmother used: vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, methylated spirits, detergent, glycerine, milk. Shoe polish on the carpet...
