...This is not to paint Staples as a soulless corporation ready and willing to put profit before peace. Listed among Calvert socially responsible mutual funds, Staples stated in a 2005 report that its “corporate soul is centered on a rock solid belief in social responsibility and the desire to make a positive impact on our associates, customers, and the world.” Indeed, the board’s present inaction on Sudan only tarnishes an otherwise laudable record of corporate leadership...
...said his music conjures “images of pussy-whipped young men,” while Rolling Stone called it “overeducated nerd rap.” But that didn’t prevent Slug from recording “When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold,” another articulate album about feminism, sex, and working-class people. Slug, who along with producer Ant makes up hip-hop duo Atmosphere, is probably the only songwriter in contemporary hip-hop who writes about a woman who is “gonna...

In San Francisco, activists dumped oil in the reflecting pool at Standard Oil's headquarters; in Florida, college students put a Chevrolet on trial for poisoning the air, pronounced it guilty and sentenced it to death...
...grew together as we worked together. Carrying the rotting wooden planks of a fallen home out of a marsh, shoveling chunks of grass out of wetlands to plant trees there, filling in the white spots of a shed built over the site of a fallen home with red paint and love: all were opportunities to learn and grow. On Easter Sunday—a few days after arriving in Biloxi—we took a day trip to New Orleans. Encountering a skyline of majestic skyscrapers that could have belonged to any city, I found myself filled with immense love...
