...Last winter, a month-long pilot program organized by The Crimson and the UC delivered dozens of communal copies of The New York Times to Harvard dining halls. The program could be continued at a discounted cost of 40 cents a copy at that time (it is likely lower now). The student governments and dean’s offices at Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, and Yale currently sponsor free newspaper readership programs at their schools...
...this news is bad for polar bears. Bad for western lowland gorillas. And very bad for people as well. When the winter freeze comes later in China, a disease-carrying water snail will have all kinds of new opportunities to make people sick. By 2085 an extra billion people will be at risk of contracting dengue fever because of changes in temperature and rainfall. And in yet another grim award ceremony, the Blacksmith Institute released its list of the world's most polluted places; it should not surprise anyone that people die faster in such spots...
...Jets of the NHL; both these historic sites have been razed. In 1942 the city really did hold an "If Day," dressing its burghers up as Nazis to show its citizens some of the terrors of life under the Third Reich. There was indeed a paddock fire in the winter of 1926 that sent horses fleeing desperately into the icy Red River, where some of them died, frozen, their heads and necks sticking out for months like, Maddin says, "11 knights on a vast white chessboard...
...each year. At the current rate of emissions growth, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere will double pre-industrial levels by 2056—likely with catastrophic effects, the beginnings of which we may be seeing now in the form of polar ice caps that expand less every winter and thaw further every summer...
...their government are the ones dropping the ball. It's an appealing story line designed primarily to help Republicans deflect the heat for a mission that did not turn out as planned. That has always been an advantage of the surge, after all: when it was unveiled last winter, it was difficult to tell if the new tactic was really a blueprint for the final victory or just a holding action to signal to Americans that the U.S. had done its damnedest before quietly pulling the plug on the enterprise. Bush isn't yet ready to blame anyone else. Instead...
