...trouble, of course, is that most of the heat flows up the chimney. Count Rumford's 18th century fireplace design (shallower, built to throw more heat back into the room) helps a bit, but the basic idea remains Paleolithic. There have been times during subzero winter power blackouts when we have pulled a futon next to the fire and slept there, curled up as close as we could get to the heat without igniting the blankets. On the other hand, the wood stove in the kitchen radiates efficient gemutlichkeit--a cloying heat, like the house on a Thanksgiving afternoon that...

When bombing broke out in Bosnia, Bush did not leap to support it, as he claimed, but said at the time he was "praying...
