I found two items in the 18 December 2004 issue a tiny bit incongruous. Philip Cohen, in "To cool the world" (p 17), quotes Paul Higgins, an earth scientist, as saying of George W. Bush, "We have a president who is a very fit guy. If we were all to adopt his fitness plan, we would not need to adopt some of his energy policy."
Yet Soundbites (p 10) has a quote from an item in The Times, London, reporting the president's confession to an "unhealthy diet after a check-up revealed he had become overweight".
