...time when easing the burden we put on the environment is a major priority, it is an inopportune moment to cut back on service. Many major cities today still lack robust public transportation, and to benefit its citizens and lower energy usage we need to increase, rather than curtail, mass-transit programs. It is understandable that in these tough economic times money has to come from somewhere, but alternative sources do exist.

The switch was designed to encourage visitors from around the country - families from at least 45 states are expected to attend - though huge demand for tickets left many parents frustrated and empty-handed, despite spending hours in front of their computers. A reminder, perhaps, that this particular rite of spring is designed primarily for the enjoyment of children, not grown-ups. As former Clinton...
