...blond wig and dark glasses, it wasn't just her disguise at work. The girl we know so well, the one in the flirty beret on the Rose Garden rope line, is gone now, ground up by the machinery of investigation and fame. This new Monica is still warm, puts people at ease, pays attention to them when they speak, but she watches out for herself in a way she never had to before. The prosecutor whom she had viewed as a monster was now offering his protection, and the President whom she had shielded as her special friend...
Palm trees and pink stucco houses, flat blue cloudless skies and wide curving roads, the warm, salty smell of the ocean--home.

Broadly speaking, La Nina is the flip side of El Nino. But as the scientists at last week's workshop agreed, it is not just a mirror image. For one thing, La Ninas in general are never quite as cold as El Ninos are warm. Also, while El Ninos grow in strength with each degree of change in ocean temperature, La Ninas do not. The reason can be traced to the physics that links the atmosphere to the ocean. What allows El Nino to affect weather worldwide is the intrusion of unusually warm water into the eastern Pacific. As this...
...distinction between La Nina and so-called normal conditions is not at all obvious. El Nino, for example, is truly an aberration. It makes dry places wet, wet places dry, warm places cold and cold places warm. By contrast, La Nina appears to exaggerate conditions that are more or less normal. Thus, under La Nina's sway, the Indonesian archipelago, which is usually wet, should expect to receive substantially more rain than it got last year. But in the absence of La Nina, Indonesia would still receive a lot of rain. Similarly, Canada and Alaska, which tend to be cold...
