...expected to double between 2002 and 2030. "World gas resources are not sufficient to meet the world's demand for energy. It can only be done with coal," insists Martin May, spokesman for Swedish power company Vattenfall. Not that coal ever exactly disappeared. During the cold months of last winter, both Germany and Britain relied heavily on coal to meet power requirements. And coal remains a key power source in many other countries, including Poland, Israel and Spain. But coal use is on the rise, thanks largely to a building spree of coal-fired plants in China and India. World...
...Winter 1962. Another 96-pager, with a dozen in color. "Love in the Bible" opened the issue. Allen Ginsberg, who would later protest Ralph Ginzburg's conviction, offered a chatty letter.

Nothing elicits the game-time buzz of an incipient Presidential contest like the mid-winter trek through Iowa and New Hampshire, the first two states to weigh in on the nominating contest. But political junkies will have to adjust their thermostats for 2008. At a meeting July 22, the Democrats are set to revamp their voting calendar, and some big changes are likely. Members of the Democratic committee in charge of the schedule say they will add a southwestern and a southern state to the early caucus and primary schedule. Iowa's caucus will remain first on the campaign schdule...
