...region very much, though it might force the Bush campaign to spend some more time and money protecting its turf. His Southern appeal was a major premise behind Edwards' presidential campaign, but he never proved he had all that much. New Englander Kerry beat Edwards in every Southern primary except for Edwards' neighboring state of South Carolina, where he had practically taken up residency to score his only victory in the primary...
...voters that they were two very different species of politician, it won't be so hard to meld their positions on the issues, which were never that far apart to start with. But on such touchstone matters as the death penalty--which Edwards supports, but Kerry opposes for everyone except terrorists--Kerry told TIME: "I wouldn't ask John to change on something as fundamental as that, and I don't ask him to change. I think there's a phoniness to the politics of people who on matters of conscience and matters of deep-rooted belief change." The last...
...building new power stations, but his company did buy an existing power plant earlier this year to help meet demand.

Natural gas, although cleaner, leaves countries dependent on insecure sources of supply like northern Africa and central Asia. Renewables like windmills and solar panels are part...

Except for a deep sense of compassion for the plight...
...format and higher price point than the others. Then came volume one, three and four respectively. (They plan on reprinting volume two at the same size and price as the others.) Printed as paperbacks with an ugly cover design, none of the volumes can be distinguished from the others except by careful examination of the subtitle and the numeral on the spine. Furthermore, without the promise of the remaining seven volumes, VIZ has almost completely botched an opportunity to distinguish themselves from their principal competition (TOKYOPOP) as a publisher of classy, adult Japanese comic...
