...because he seems to be no more than a politician who test-markets his every utterance, whereas President Bush, love him or hate him, comes across as a man who means what he says and doesn't stick his finger in the air checking to see which way the wind is blowing before he speaks. Nicky Billou Toronto Klein's argument that Kerry must campaign more aggressively against Bush's policies was dead on. Bush's litany of mistakes can be defined in common terms by every kindergartner in America, yet Kerry can't bring himself to call a spade...
...site of Muhammad's Night Journey, recounted in the Koran, in which the Prophet ascended to heaven. But today this sacred place is battling simple gravity. A section of the Mount's eastern retaining wall - 40 sq m of teetering sandstone, pitted and creased by centuries of dusty desert wind - is bulging away from the great mass of the Temple. The darkness that lies behind it breaks black through a 50-cm crack that runs 20 m to the top. Looking up at the wall, it seems the sandstone slabs might topple at any moment. That, indeed, is the fear...
...such ancient stuff, that would go a long way toward explaining how the crude materials that constituted the early solar system developed into the discrete planets that exist today. For 27 months of its three-year mission, Genesis trolled through space beyond the orbit of the moon, gathering solar wind on five 4-in. hexagonal collector plates--each coated with silicon, gold, sapphire or diamond--and then stowing them back inside the body of the spacecraft. What's there could be a cosmic treasure: "A billion billion molecules for us to study," says Don Burnett, a geophysicist at the California...
...structures built with large quantities of glass, steel and environmentally sustainable materials. Kaufmann calls the Glidehouse project an effort to "collaborate with nature." Instead of hardwood floors that stress first-growth forests, she uses fast-growing bamboo. Lighting from the structure's glassy exterior, plus solar panels and a wind generator, reduces electricity use. "It's the housing equivalent of the Prius," says Kaufmann, referring to Toyota's environmentally conscious car. "Clean and green...
VALLIERE: A pure play here would be coal. Kerry and his wife have a strong bias against coal in terms of regulations and emissions. But they would be good for alternatives like wind and solar. Florida Power & Light is considered the leader in developing wind power...
