Warning to all who drive gas guzzlers while fretting about the melting ice cap and the diminished rain forest: Your bluff is called. Finally. Just as the U.S. is grappling with the problem of how to meet its international promise to reduce global warming, the first hybrid gasoline-electric cars are hitting the U.S. market. Though these green machines, a major advance in automobile engineering, are getting off to a slow start, down the road they may yet compete bumper to bumper with gas-only cars...

Then, through a technique she calls the turnaround, Katie coaxes the person to look inside rather than outside for the solution. "He should understand me," for example, may become, "I should understand him and myself." A woman at this evening's session gripes that her sister is holier than thou but discovers that she is doing...
