...being absorbed by the oceans and land. The answer may be to quit thinking about solving climate change as only a matter of cutting greenhouse gases off at the source and to start considering how to clean up the mess that's already there. After all, when a busted pipe floods your home, you do more than just fix the leak and let evaporation take care of the water. You get out a bucket and start mopping...
...years after his death at age 87, there are unmistakable traces of Fuller's thinking in everything from prefab housing to sustainable green architecture. That's more than enough of a legacy to fill "Buckminster Fuller: Starting with the Universe," a show of drawings, models, videos and pipe dreams that runs through Sept. 21 at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City and then reprises next summer in Chicago...

The popular Moscow daily Moskovski Komsomolets calculated that the cost of today's military parade could have bought the city...
...like a lot to ask for, but it is certainly possible. While the Crimson may not be the Ivy League champion that Baseball America predicted it to be, it certainly can cause problems for even the best of the Ancient Eight, and while a Rolfe Division Championship is a pipe dream at this point, at the very least a rejuvenated Harvard can be a very painful thorn in the side of its rivals as they attempt to realize their own title aspirations...
