Still, we're far from a Manichaean showdown. Russia is too weak to wage a cold war. Outside Moscow, St. Petersburg and a handful of other cities, most Russians live in Khrushchev- and Brezhnev-era hovels. The economy is diversifying but not diversified; for now, the oil and gas markets largely decide how much money flows into the Kremlin coffers. And the military is a wreck; Lucas points out, for instance, that the navy now has just 20 seaworthy surface ships...
...like an original birth certificate or a passport. This restriction unfairly affects certain demographics who are not in the position to acquire a state ID, like the poor, the elderly, and the disabled.

Compared to Menino’s hard facts, Faust’s evidence that Harvard too seeks sustainability seemed weak. The “Green Roof Demonstration Project,” and Earth Week’s “Sustainability Pledges,” Harvard’s two green successes that she alluded to in her speech (while good-spirited) do not guarantee that Harvard will pollute less. Buildings...
...recounts the deaths of three Chicago residents in 2001 at the hands of criminal gangs. "That same year, a Chicago state senator named Barack Obama voted against expanding the death penalty for gang-related murders," an ominous female narrator intones. "So the question is, can a man so weak in the war on gangs be trusted in the war on terror...
