...Another way to conserve electricity: burn candles. But toss the old ones-they could have lead wicks, which are toxic when burned and were banned in the U.S. only as recently as October 2003 (visit cpsc.gov for details). And choose soy, vegetable wax or beeswax-all renewable and biodegradable materials-over paraffin wax candles, which are petroleum based. Big Dipper Wax Works' 100% beeswax candles run $10 to $24 at 3Rliving.com...
...darkened, Summers was lowered into a 2-m-deep grave. Kok-de Bruijn and Calderoni, the two who had spent time with the deceased, were the only ones crying. Fuligno then stepped up onto the nearby pile of earth and invited mourners each to toss a handful of dirt onto the coffin, as his fellow Baptists always do.

Should we also toss on the fire Dick Gregory's autobiography, written for cross-consumption as a harsh accounting of the racial indignities heaped upon a young black as he travels from boy to man?

His shot of 14.45 just edged teammate and junior Alex Obrecht. Otherwise, however, the Crimson only won four more events out of the 15 total. On the women’s side, Harvard took just five...
...Toss out the neocons. Enough is enough. No constituency has expended a greater share of our party’s political capital than neoconservatives, and no constituency has had worse results (politically and practically) to show for it. Neocons claim that the Iraq war would have been successful if executed more competently, but nation-building—particularly in the Middle East—is a tall order regardless of leadership. I don’t mean to imply that Republicans should become completely isolationist, but a corrective shift in that direction would be appropriate. On a related note, Republicans...
