...public attitudes to treated wastewater showed that science alone isn't enough to reassure people in a debate that's just getting started, says the csiro's Blair Nancarrow: "Scientists aren't just trusted automatically anymore. You have to have a partnership with the community." Next month's poll in Toowoomba will shape the future of that debate. But a yes vote will only make it the first Australian community to officially welcome recycled water into its kitchens. Richmond, on Sydney's outskirts, takes water from the Hawkesbury River, into which treated effluent is discharged, as does Adelaide, from...

Even as she apologized to her daughter for saying it, she added another dig-she expressed fear that you aren?t ready to compete in the new globalized world...
...Bolten's Uphill Battle TIME reported on new white house chief of staff Josh Bolten's "recovery plan" [May 1]. The trouble is that Bolten's campaign is designed to elevate the President's poll numbers rather than solve the ugly problems the Administration has created for the country. It is hard to imagine any American finding valid reasons to defend George W. Bush's performance. There are new revelations almost every day about questionable conduct and incompetence among the President's staff and appointees. Let's hope they never again have the guts to lecture us on patriotism, character...
