...Crusader Crashes We skewer Spitzer for hiring prostitutes and hurting his family terribly. But who else was hurt? No one. Meanwhile, two high-level political executives - responsible for the deaths and terrible injuries of thousands of U.S. service personnel and tens if not hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, trillions of dollars of debt, total disruption of the Middle East and destruction of our nation's good name - sit safely in their offices, unthreatened with even impeachment and ready to escape into retirement without a scratch when their term ends. Payment for sex is apparently far worse than the losses...

For all the public attention climate change has won, U.S. greens have so far failed to achieve national political action on the issue--and the authors insist that won't change as long as environmentalism remains wedded to what they call the "politics of limits." Mandatory emission cuts alone won't be enough to drive the kind of innovation needed to break the world of its fossil-fuel habit--and China and India will never sign...
...With seven restaurants and bars, dining options are plentiful for a development of relatively modest size. Try the lovely Sibon, a 13-seat Japanese kushiage, or skewer restaurant.
