...American public. Now we'll begin to see whether that support still runs shallow. On Monday the Senate will begin debating America's Climate Security Act, a bill that would finally attempt to make carbon-emission reduction a federal objective.

On May 30, the devout finally get their wish when Sex and the City: The Movie makes its big-screen debut at theaters across the country courtesy of Warner Bros.
