...laptop, and Eric Dane, the man they call Dr. McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy, was holding court a few feet away. I could have salvaged what dignity I still had, and walked out in principled protest. But then I saw Isiah Whitlock Jr., the actor who played the corrupt Sen. Clay Davis on HBO's The Wire, standing with his hands at his side. Before I knew what I was doing, I had walked over and asked if I could get him a drink from...

Stiglitz, a Columbia professor and former World Bank chief economist, advocates a "green net national product" that takes into account the depletion of natural...
...were an American voter] would you support Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton? -Mustafa Yildirim, Adiyaman, TurkeyI find American politics quite hard to comprehend exactly how they work. Most Americans do, especially with this whole Florida and redo and all the rest of it-so complicated. I just about got my head around it.
