...Greens also find themselves closer to organized labor. Last week Nader had a warm meeting with Teamsters' leader James P. Hoffa, who saluted Nader and warned Gore that Hoffa's 1.5 million members shouldn't be taken for granted. In a behind-the-scenes meeting before their joint press conference, Nader wowed the Teamster leaders with his knowledge of the National Labor Relations Board policies governing union elections.

Time was when the solar system had two watery worlds. Directly next door to the warm, wet, loamy Earth was the warm, wet, loamy Mars, both planets sloshing with oceans and running with rivers--and both possibly teeming with life.

"When you walk through a city, you look through windows and wonder who is living there," says Romer...
...Gehry begin to insinuate odd bits of business into his designs: exposed studs and other things that a "properly" finished house would conceal. "I was trying to humanize stuff," he says. "Clients would always ask for buildings that were warm, and I would take notes at our meetings and write, 'Warm again.'" Nice neat modernism was notoriously cool. Raw was his path to warm...
