...Good-Faith Effort? As an ardent reader and fan of your publication, I am finding it hard, even 24 hours later, to close my jaw after reading your story on Tony Blair's faith [June 9]. How dare Michael Elliott refer to "the chattering classes of London'' who think of Blair as smug. I think you'll find this is a common view, echoed from Lands End to John O'Groats, and with very good reason. Blair's deeds - and those of his unelected inner circle of cronies - have left the British public with little faith in politics and politicians...
...things that prompted Rainwater's sell decision was a reader poll on the investing website Motley Fool--yes, even billionaires get ideas from Motley Fool. "What are you doing to deal with high gas prices?" the poll asked. Seventy-seven percent of the respondents said they were cutting back on consumption (by driving less, buying a hybrid, buying a Vespa, etc.).

Then another week for cover sketches, and another week or two for all the chapter headings. So I think you're probably looking at a couple months for reading it and creating all the artwork...
...this-world questions. But Pope, for one, isn't hopeful. "I just think most people will get so tired of going through hundreds of pages from people out walking their dogs at night who see a white light in the sky," he says. And even if a reader should stumble across a sign of something that seems alien, the reams of paperwork aren't likely to explain it. "There is no smoking gun in these files," Pope says. "There's no spaceship in an airplane hangar." Still, he's not ready to dismiss the prospect that there's something deep...
