Sweet Are the Uses of Adversity For years, a soliloquy from Shakespeare's AS YOU LIKE IT has whispered to me. I love the images Shakespeare evokes, of the refreshment and learning available when one leaves civilizaion behind for awhile.

We ARE the Small People BP's board chair Svanberg got me thinking when he called us Americans 'the small people.' I realized there's more truth to his comment than first meets the eye.

The "Jewel of Siberia" Lake Baikal is the oldest, largest lake in the world. Home to many animals and plants that exist nowhere else, this remarkable Siberian lake is not well-known in the West. A world treasure, Lake Baikal has been named a World Heritage Site.

When A Wonderful Event Becomes An Outrage Normally a fan of the Olympics, I am outraged that the 2014 Winter Games are to be held at what is now a pristine mountain region that the United Nations has declared a World Heritage Site. The Caucasus Mountains, just inland of Russia's Black Sea resort town of Sochi, will be seriously damaged by the creation of a ski resort with all the trimmings for the tourists. I have an alternative to propose.

A Morning Wrapped in Ice I awoke one recent morning to a wonderland of 'glass'--every twig, branch, and trunk in the wooods on the mountain where I live was encased in ice.
