...real difficulty with sustaining a useful connection with nature, though, comes from the fact that nature does not seek to make a connection with us. It is a hard truth to swallow, but nature does not care if we live or die. We cannot survive without the oceans, for example, but they can do just fine without us. One might surmise that the natural world exists to test our capacity to care or to preserve ourselves, but even that little fancy is man-made. Nature goes its own way, headless and heartless, and one either responds to it or does...
After decades of rancorous debate, only a handful of the most doctrinaire die-hards still dispute the idea that human activity is heating up the planet. all the signs seem to point that way: storms have become more intense and weather patterns more erratic; the past decade has been by far the hottest on record; and the rise in temperature has been greatest in polar regions and around cities. These facts dovetail ominously well with the theory that carbon dioxide (CO 2), released by burning coal, oil and gasoline for heat, electricity and transportation, is trapping excess energy from...
Bellow understands that being a new parent at his age raises an inevitable if unstated concern, which he proceeds to address: "Well, my wife won't be lonely when I die. She'll have somebody."

But his songcraft--which is sometimes more about edginess than hooks--has always looked better on paper than it sounds...
...earlier play. Two sets of identical twins-one the servant and one the master-are separated in a shipwreck during infancy. Their father/master, Aegean, dedicates his life to reuniting his splintered family. To complicate matters, he arrives in the forbidden city of Ephesus, for which he is sentenced to die. That very day, his son Antipholus (Ari Appel '03) arrives, similarly searching for his brother who, conveniently enough, is also named Antipholus. Thus the father, his twin sons and their twin servants-both named Dromio-are all thrown together within a city long associated with the magic arts. What could...
