...dismisses such concerns. "We would destroy this thing if we were to interfere," he says. "We totally understand that this will be a failure unless it's totally independent and we're not into supporting failures." Yet for Pro Publica to be considered a success, it will need to prove it can sustain a track record of high-profile, high-quality journalism and that it can survive past the Sandlers' initial three-year financial commitment. Such an achievement could create opportunities for more philanthropy-supported journalism. As Duke University economist James T. Hamilton puts it, "Newspapers used to be owned...
...chicken pizza - a scrumptious Singaporean invention, made on a 12-inch base and served with julienned cucumber. There's also a great duck wrap, which stylishly updates the Chinese restaurant staple. Come for sundowners and graze at will. Any dinner reservations you might have for later that evening should prove superfluous...
...they could have applied it in their grief after their master was crucified. However, such a contentious reading of the 87-line tablet depends on creative interpretation of a smudged passage, making it the latest entry in the woulda/coulda/shoulda category of possible New Testament artifacts; they are useful to prove less-spectacular points and to stir discussion on the big ones, but probably not to settle them nor shake anyone's faith...
...after such a contest, statistics don't seem to capture what it was like to actually be there, in that near-hysterical crowd, scribbling in a notebook I know I will one day pass on to my son or daughter, with a ticket, to prove that "I was there."

Sometime next year, a California start-up called Climos plans to experiment with the technique, fertilizing about 4,000 sq. mi. (about 10,000 sq km) of ocean. The goal is not to prove that the iron makes the plankton grow but to determine how much carbon this takes out of the atmosphere and for how long. "When we add iron, we create plankton blooms," says oceanographer Ken Buesseler of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, who led an earlier, smaller iron-seeding test, "but a lot of that just dies and decomposes" at the surface. Only when organic matter snows...
