...disagree. One way of placing environmentalism within a moral framework is to think in terms of environmental justice. This rapidly emerging field considers who are the winners and the losers of environmental change and whether that status is deserved. An illustrative example is again the topic of climate change, which is caused primarily by the increase in the content of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. An important effect of global warming is the rise of global sea levels, which is a prospect that severely threatens many small island nations and peninsulas. Bangladesh is a country whose...
...With so much attention paid recently to the status of final clubs at Harvard and students' dissatisfaction with campus social life, the weekend jaunt down I-95 and the Garden State Parkway to central New Jersey provides a startling contrast in elitist--or at least-elitist inspired --fraternizing. The center of most students' social life is "The Street," which, funny enough, is actually an avenue--Prospect Avenue, adjacent to the central campus quadrangle. On The Street are the 11 eating clubs, which serve as dining halls, study centers, small classrooms and, of course, social outlets...

Celebrated past recipients of the death penalty such as Julius and Ethel Rosenberg or Caryl Chessman were neither rich nor powerful, and gained their status as a consequence of their trials, Cohen says. More recently, capital punishment was pre-emptively rejected in the O.J. Simpson case. But Capano had no legendary gridiron past, and a wholly unpleasant present. Although the scion of a wealthy real estate family and a mover among Delaware's elite...
...came as no suprise that the government would miss its self-imposed March 31 deadline for Y2K compliance. Like a child badly in need of a parent-teacher conference, the government has problems meeting deadlines. The Y2K status report announcement, made late Wednesday by the White House Office of Management and Budget, was succinct. Three federal agencies -- the Transportation Department, Health and Human Services, and the Agency for International Development -- have made little or no progress in winnowing out the Y2K bug. Only 80 percent of key government computers have been given a clean bill of health. The cost...
