...tape—it’s never as sexy as spray painting your chest and hooting call-and-response chants through a bullhorn at University Hall. In many ways, I regret not doing more of that. Still, I tell myself, I’m not a complete suit. I’ve realized over the last two years that what’s best for the environment isn’t just tea and Birkenstocks (although I like both those things). Sustainability involves building sustainable relationships, with those around you and with those in power. Environmentalism is still...
...ever read in the mainstream media. Unlike many other non-Muslim commentators, Bobby Ghosh correctly realizes that the root of the fighting in Iraq (and in other parts of the Islamic world) is not religion but politics. The warring parties cloak themselves in religious garb and quote suras to suit their agendas, but at the end of the day their objective is not religious legitimacy but political supremacy.

In a lawsuit filed July 13, Plame and Wilson accused Libby, Cheney and presidential adviser Karl Rove of violating their rights to free speech, privacy and equal protection by conspiring to reveal Plame's identity. The suit has essentially been on hold while the criminal trial played out, and it may go away if the three defendants win their argument that, as government officials, they are immune from getting sued. Cheney, as a sitting vice president, has the best chance of getting full immunity, but the other...
