• Puede que Fox News esté demoliendo a sus rivales más liberales en los índices de audiencia, pero para los demócratas sigue siendo el hombre del saco. Por eso el Presidente Obama aprovechó la oportunidad para criticar a la cadena durante un discurso en defensa de su historial económico pronunciado hoy en la Universidad Northwestern. Pero al hacerlo, el presidente no sólo demostró la debilidad de su posición, sino también por qué no entiende el atractivo de Fox.

• I was never ambitious. I just wanted to have quiet, calm, listen to public radio and say, hello, how are you? Sit down, rest. But I had an early partner named Fred Freeman, a wonderful writer who I met at Northwestern. And I thought we were doing very well with "Jack Paar," and he said, no, we got to go to Hollywood. We got to write sitcom. It's the coming thing.

• Lejos, en Montana, oculto a la vista por los picos de las montañas, se encuentra un rincón del noroeste sin cartografiar: la Corona del Continente. El agua del ventisquero que cubre la cima de una alta montaña se filtra en pequeños arroyos, que se precipitan hacia el norte, el sur, el este y el oeste, y creciendo hasta convertirse en ríos, al final vierten sus corrientes en tres mares. Desde la cima de esta montaña, los océanos Pacífico y Ártico y el Golfo de México reciben cada uno su tributo. Esta es una tierra de paisajes sorprendentes.

• Ríase a menudo. Empezar el día con una buena carcajada, o al menos con una gran sonrisa, es tan beneficioso para la salud como para el estado de ánimo. Estudios científicos de las universidades Northwestern y Fordham concluyeron que la risa beneficia al corazón, los pulmones, el estómago y otros órganos. Relaja las tensiones, cambia la actitud y aumenta los analgésicos naturales del cuerpo. Y no tiene efectos secundarios nocivos.

• La agricultura industrial es ahora responsable de más de la mitad de la contaminación del agua en Estados Unidos. Hace dos años, los brotes de Pfiesteria relacionados con los desechos de las fábricas industriales de pollos obligaron a cerrar dos importantes afluentes del Chesapeake y amenazaron la vital industria marisquera de Maryland. Tyson Foods ha contaminado la mitad de los arroyos del noroeste de Arkansas con tantas bacterias fecales que está prohibido bañarse. Los medicamentos y hormonas necesarios para mantener vivos y en crecimiento a los animales confinados se excretan principalmente con los desechos y saturan las vías fluviales locales.

• In all times and in all places--in Constantinople, northwestern Zambia, Victorian England, Sparta, Arabia, . . . medieval France,Babylonia, . . . Carthage, Mahenjo-Daro, Patagonia, Kyushu, . . . Dresden--the time span between childhood and adulthood, however fleeting or prolonged, has been associated with the acquisition of virtue as it is differently defined in each society. A child may be good and morally obedient, but only in the process of arriving at womanhood or manhood does a human being become capable of virtue--that is, the qualities of mind and body that realize society's ideals.
