Sustainable use is not some fringe idea, but rather the central organizing principle for global environmental policy, a concept refined over two decades at international conferences. It is often paired with "sustainable development" -- the notion that economic development, if carried out in a careful manner, can proceed without exhausting the natural resources needed by future generations. As recently as last June during the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, governments tried to forge an action agenda based on sustainable development...
Another question I have for Choi is what does it matter to him how others perform? If the Admissions Board saw fit to allow entry of these students, why does he care what they do while they are here or if they finish? Furthermore, the notion that affirmative action allows only the deficient into this institution is wrong and unfair.

A few days later, O'Brien, with no preparation and no cue cards, hosted his make-believe show on the Tonight show set. "The kid is no pro," says an NBC programmer who watched the test, but immediately the network took him more seriously, and, unbeknown...
That is a notion at the heart of Jeffrey, a play that is all-funny and all- true. "In many ways it's a liberating play for Paul," Selma Rudnick says, "and I'm so happy he was rewarded for it. The world doesn't always reward you for taking such great leaps." In it Rudnick faces up to the challenge his earlier writing implicitly set: how to be sensibly cheerful about a disease that ravages homosexuals...
