...Punxatawney Phil has spoken, and he says there’s going to be six more weeks of winter. That means two things. First, he’s predicted the same thing six years in a row, and maybe he should be reminded of the choices. Second, though the weather has been decidedly balmy, it’s not time to break out the “jorts” (jean shorts) yet. Remember that at Harvard, winter is only over when the grounds crew sticks all those green phallic spears back in the grass and takes the giant canvas...

...biking yesterday around the Mall in 60-degree-weather, I realized that there might be some validity to this global warming idea. From small efforts to build ethanol and biodiesel vehicles to completely altering America’s fleet of 200 million automobiles to run on hydrogen, curbing global warming will take dramatic action, not just dramatic rhetoric. A first step is a dollar tax on gasoline, an approach that has been derided by corporate America. Tonight, I can no longer allow the destruction of our world to go unchecked in the interest of ExxonMobil’s $36 billion...
