...Light as Air There are bright young things, and then there's Paul Cocksedge, 28, who was shortlisted for the U.K.'s Designer of the Year award in 2004.

It presents a bleak picture--steep declines in most of the 40 measures that were analyzed, including how much people trust one another and major institutions, and their connections to their communities. The index offers a couple of bright spots: more citizens, especially young ones, vote now than in the disco era; and although volunteering has flattened out since spiking after 9/11, it's still on the rise among those between the ages...
