“What is it like to be president of the United States?” President Bush leaned forward, put his elbows on his knees, and stared at me intently. “Are we off the record?” “Yes.” And he began to talk—and talk and talk for what must have been nearly three hours. I’ve never told anyone the specifics of what he said that night, not even my wife or closest friends. I did not make notes later and have only my memory. In the journalism world, off the record is off the record. But I have repeatedly described the hours as “amazing,” “remarkable,” “stunning.”

A soldier who survived the gruesome murders at Fort Hood last week penned a letter to Texas lawmakers on Monday, urging them to prevent another tragedy from happening again by allowing soldiers to carry personal firearms on base. “Stripped of my God-given Right to arm myself, the only defensive posture I had left was to lie prostrate on the ground, and wait to die,” writes 1st Lieutenant Patrick Cook of the 49th Transportation Battalion, who witnessed the massacre firsthand. ... “Through what I can only describe as a miracle, he somehow found enough strength to continue pushing against that door...

Ted Benna, who three decades ago seized on an IRS loophole to transform American retirement savings, says he’s proud to be “father of the 401(k).” He also thinks he created a monster. ... “I would blow up the system and restart with something totally different,” he told SmartMoney.com. “Blowing up the existing structures is the only way we can simplify them.”

[...] Now, the climate-science community is scrambling to crack the code on the “uncertainty” conundrum. [...] PNS is a model of the scientific process pioneered by Jerome Ravetz and Silvio Funtowicz, which describes the peculiar challenges science encounters where “facts are uncertain, values in dispute, stakes high and decisions urgent.” Unlike “normal” science in the sense described by the philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn, post-normal science commonly crosses disciplinary lines and involves new methods, instruments and experimental systems. [...] PNS is especially seductive in the context of uncertainty. Not surprisingly, Curry suggests that instituting PNS-like strategies at the IPCC “could...

Few people risk unpopularity when commenting on something as iconic to economic prosperity as the car. Precisely why, when one of the best-known consultants and writers on the automobile industry seeks to " finish off the car," you have to sit up and take notice. ... "The car is responsible for much of the pollution that is a cause of global warming. We therefore need to reduce our dependence on the automobile — as well as two/three-wheelers, buses and trucks — to address the world's environmental problems. Even if it takes 20 or 30 years for us to reduce our...
