...Disappeared" [Nov. 6], Aparisim Ghosh's gripping story about the stark reality of the underworld of kidnapping and torture in Iraq, made me angry. If people in the region had sympathy for their neighbors, such criminality would not be tolerated. Yet greed and willful neglect of morals and humanity rule the day. What a sad state of affairs...
...Sept. 5? In any case, the extensive damage clearly visible on the top of the roots could only have been caused by heavy construction equipment, and could have been prevented by a tree surround. Why was this not done? Was Harvard unilaterally making decisions about City trees? Was deliberate neglect at the Grant Street construction site the primary reason that the ash tree was removed?

Seeing little to like in their immediate future...
...water is only half the story. Conventional farmers can neglect nutrient availability by saturating depleted soils with chemical fertilizers. Dependence on chemical fertilizers imperils long-term food production because the soil’s natural nutrients gradually disappear. It’s like giving someone a respirator instead of clean natural air. Organic farming avoids this because “the organic farmer has more of an incentive to focus on soil nutrients [through crop rotation],” according to Michael Duffy, an agricultural economist at Iowa State University...
