compare and contrast
Two news items today - compare and contrast. In the first story, President Bush says he cannot adopt Kyoto because it would cripple the nation's economy. Everyone agrees that America's economy would not be destroyed by Kyoto, but critics say it would not grow as much as people want. The headline: "President stands firm."
In the second story, two men are convicted of killing a family. This was not a crime of passion, but a simple business decision in order to increase illegal profits. The detective "said the crime was the worst he had ever dealt with, saying the family died purely because of financial greed".
The first story involves 160,000 deaths a year. The second story involved five deaths. Compare and contrast.

Global warming is staving off the next ice age, didn't you know that?
Chris--I was fascinated by your sister's website yesterday. Are you as far north as she is?
We both live on the north coast - I live in Reay, 12 miles west of Thurso, and she lives in Scarfskerry, 12 miles east of Thurso. She is probably about 5 miles further north than us, but we are both within walking distance of the coast. It's a lovely place up here - a great pace of life and a wonderful place to raise children (see www.caithness.org for more pictures) Thanks for asking!
