...Global Green Deal is no silver bullet. It can, however, buy us time to make the more deep-seated changes--in our often excessive appetites, in our curious belief that humans are the center of the universe, in our sheer numbers--that will be necessary to repair our relationship with our environment...
Fair Ball reveals none of the weepy sentimentalism of a purist disappointed in the modern game. This carefully argued series of prescriptive, cold-eyed remedies targeting baseball's chronic illnesses is far more valuable than that, aiming to repair the increasing imbalance of rich clubs and poor ones; the potentially self-immolating hard line of the players' union; the idiocy of the playoff system. Best of all, baseball's finest broadcaster may actually have the credibility to bring the ironheaded owners and players to heel. Costas for Commissioner...
...star 500 light-years away and return, going both ways at 99.995% the speed of light. When you return, the earth will be 1,000 years older, but you'll have aged only 10 years. I already know a time traveler. My friend, astronaut Story Musgrave, who helped repair the Hubble Space Telescope, spent 53.4 days in orbit. He is thus more than a millisecond younger than he would have been if he had stayed home. The effect is small, because he traveled very slowly relative to the speed of light, but it's real...
...conditioning's a little iffy, and you could wait light-years for room service, but the location is unbeatable. A Russian spacecraft blasted off Tuesday carrying two cosmonauts whose job is to repair an air leak aboard the abandoned Mir orbiter in preparation for its reincarnation as a galactic hotel. An international consortium led by Washington millionaire Walt Anderson has stepped in to save the stricken space station, buying the rights to its commercial use for $20 million and planning to invest a further $200 million over the next two years in turning Mir into a $20 million-per-head...
...some form of apology for the Vatican's conduct during World War II, but that won't diminish the fact that - as Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak noted in his salutary response - John Paul II has done more in his 22-year papacy than centuries of predecessors to repair Rome's relationship with the Jews, whom the Church had until only too recently vilified as Christ-killers. "He's stopped apologizing and is talking about what ought to be," says TIME religion correspondent David Van Biema. "And whether or not that's sufficient for some Jewish critics, it's extraordinarily...
