Proportions on the Continent are slightly higher, but there's clearly no rush to go green or - shudder - stop driving cars. Why such a disconnect between information and action? Part of the problem is that environmental advocates emit mixed messages. In mid-May, Britain's Guardian published a front-page story showing that five companies in Britain produce more CO2 pollution in a year than all the country...
...stage was covered in gore and what I think was supposed to be human excrement. The standing ovations at the end went on forever. I wonder what the Bard would have thought about all that.

But prosecutors will be able to use evidence presented for other pending cases related to the Balkans. Milosevic's four-year trial will be remembered as "the most important unresolved case in the history...
...reason why we don't have (random inspections)." Barbara Romeril, executive director of Victoria's Community Child Care Association, agrees that both private and community child-care centers would benefit from unannounced visits. Some of the stories insiders tell her would make parents shudder, she says: she's heard more than once of centers ferrying in new equipment and better food when an inspection...
