The Berkman fellows are hot today.  Jim Moore has a terrific, touching, far-reaching piece, one in a series of essays about the intersection of personal relationships and global politics. 

Just incidentally, one of the things that I think Jim is best at is bringing the ethos and the best insights of the environmental community to bear on problems without an obvious nexus to environment.  He uses the word “ecosystem” judiciously and effectively, as he does here today.
