Print vs. Pixels: Should Green-Minded Readers Switch to E-Books?new
I love books. I still have the paperback of Wuthering Heights I bought in 1978 for 95 cents, though I can access its complete text on my iPhone.

The Seductive World of Home-Improvement TVnew
It's frivolous, it's out of touch, and I can't get enough of it. Why? Because most HGTV shows embody the triumph of style over substance, of beauty over function. And their notions of what looks good in a home are almost as ephemeral as high fashion. Talk about escapist entertainment.
