...good is to decrease the demand [May 1]. We Americans are such gluttons. We consume the most oil in the world, with little regard for the planet. You want the price of gas to go down? Stop driving so much. Take the bus, ride a bike, take a walk, join a van pool, take the train. Buy hybrid cars, and trade in your Hummers and suvs. And once in a while, stay home. The natural order of the capitalist economy will take care of the rest. Then we can we stop blaming the oil companies, the government, the Arabs...
Architects must feel that too many of us walk the city streets with our heads down - if it's more than 20° above eye level, we're just not seeing it. And in London, that means missing out on a lot.

But this was not the weekend to do that.”For Cornell, everything happened right, from the early morning heats to the finish line on Sunday night...
...people's minds is not "Why?" but "How much?" McCartney's personal fortune, which includes part ownership of the Beatles brand, is estimated at more than $1.5 billion, and legal analysts surmise that if the couple, who have a 2-year-old daughter, end up in divorce, Mills could walk away with more than $350 million. (Mills offered to sign a prenuptial agreement before the wedding in 2002, but McCartney famously dismissed the notion, calling it unromantic.)
