...than it's convincingly demonstrated. Critics have huffed that the report features more guesswork than science, ridiculing one calculation that factors in the frequency of earthquakes to determine global warming's impact on weather disasters (the authors do concede a "significant margin of error"). Specifics aside, the report is doubtless intended to haunt world leaders as they gather in Copenhagen later this year to negotiate a successor to the Kyoto Protocol. If its chilling claims are even partly true, the report should be read as a clarion call to action...

The sparks that fly over money will be nothing, though, compared to the battle those same local leaders will likely put up when they realize they're bound to lose most of their power to a Greater Paris so enormous it will doubtless be administered by a new super-entity - possibly an organ of the state...
...About to be thrust into a daunting bear market, members of Harvard’s graduating class have doubtless pondered the ultimate meaning of their hard-earned diplomas. For 17-odd years in the classroom, success has been relatively easy to define: Good work is, in theory, awarded with good grades; the higher the grade, the more consummately the student has achieved her task.

Conservatism needs mass media too, to affect day-to-day politics: jam phone lines and pull the national conversation rightward. It needs Limbaugh and the many like-minded talkers elsewhere on the airwaves. Doubtless they could do their jobs better, as could the conservative writers who scorn them. But if Limbaugh did not exist, conservatives would have to invent him. And it would be hard to do - as liberals have found when they have tried and failed to come up with their own successful radio...
