...results of a personal education rather than the acquisition of it. If Project Runway were about the formation of the designers' sensibilities rather than the creative execution of that sensibility, would anyone watch? This automatically puts Fontaine's film at a disadvantage, and the truly enigmatic nature of her subject only compounds it. "You want, but you don't know what," Emilienne tells Coco, and the movie keeps us at that same remove. It may be too respectful of the legend it seeks to illuminate...

As a consequence, wind farms will substantially reduce the region’s carbon dioxide emissions. Also, the costs of fossil fuels are volatile and subject to increasing world demand: By deriving more energy from wind farms, residents will be protected from fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices. Another key benefit is that the construction of an offshore wind farm would serve as a form of economic stimulus to the region. In particular, the project...

His bill would force every journalist to be licensed and signed up with the Sandinista-controlled Nicaraguan Journalists Association, an obscure guild to which only about 20% of reporters in the country now belong...
