...bombs, the whole country wondered what he was trying to say. In a letter sent to the university newspaper, Helder characterized himself as "spiritually well rounded" and wrote of a conspiracy to enslave the masses, pillage the environment and suppress human potential. It was not your usual antigovernment rant but something mistier and more sweeping. "Whether it's logic, meditation, channeling, astral projection or ghosts, all are ways of knowing," he wrote...
...That sounds like the rant of utopian cranks, but both authors are respected even in the boardroom. McDonough is lead architect on a $2 billion project to rejuvenate Ford's massive River Rouge plant; Braungart helped found Germany's Green Party. Rather than flog humans for being wasteful beasts, they celebrate our propensity to consume, insisting there are ways to make that impulse a healthy part of a dynamic ecosystem.

Such calls often lead to playground recriminations and don't really teach our kids any lessons about how to navigate the world and resolve conflicts...
...spent an entire academic year creating in this, my hallowed column space. Conversations about Cornel or the plight of Af-Am at Harvard are reserved for a more earnest forum. No, when talking about race-based issues in the twenty-first century, I can’t help but rant about something a bit less important, a bit more…well, glam...
