...raped (an occasion for considerable overheated press comment a few months ago), the other, as an adult, witnesses an adulterous couple stoned to death. It also features a heartbreaking bretrayal, a disappearance into disparate refugee voids by both of them and the inspirational working out of one of those deep family secrets that were the great specialty of Charles Dickens and, for that matter, of American movies in their classic age, when they so often made first-rate entertainments of second-rate popular fiction...
...extended fantasy about something he would call “GreenSinai.com,” where you’d atone for sins by being environmentally friendly. I picture his pupils getting all dilated while he wrote that one. But he went even further off the deep end on Dec. 5, when his entire column was an imagined communiqué within the Iranian government.

That opposition isn't surprising, because the Bush Administration has never hidden its opposition to mandatory cuts. But observers here say the U.S. obstructive role has been more egregious, stymieing attempts to craft meaningful action on everything from deforestation to measures to help developing nations manage their carbon output.
