...There are some of us who believe that the problem of warming is as bad as the First and Second World Wars combined," Branson told TIME in a recent interview at the climate summit in Copenhagen. "It's that serious, and you know the key is carbon, [but] there's no war room coordinating the attack on carbon...
These couples are not the only House leaders to depart in recent memory. Last fall, both the Pforzheimer House masters and Winthrop House masters announced that they would step down at the end of the 2008-2009 school year. In February, Dean Hammonds appointed sociology professor Nicholas A. Christakis and his wife Erika L. Christakis '86 as the new Pfoho House masters and Law School Professor Ronald S.

If so, their plan may be to sow bicentennial terror and turn Mexicans against President Felipe Calderón's drug-war offensive. This past fall authorities say they seized an arsenal of large...
...Untalan's village, Gitam, is home to about two dozen families and has enough enlisted residents to field its own baseball team. Several of them belong to Mark Mathow, a retired fisherman. On a recent balmy day, he sits bare-chested on his porch, recounting how his family became involved with the U.S. military. His brother Steven, a U.S. Army staff sergeant with 16 years in the service, was killed when an IED hit his unit's Humvee outside the Iraqi city of Bayji in 2005. One daughter just got out of the Army after eight years of service, while...
