kivalina makes the ny times

You saw it here first! So yesterday I wondered whether the Kivalina suit would be ignored as a stunt or covered in the New York Times. It was the latter, and not just in the Times but in the Canadian Press, United Press International, AP, Guardian Unlimited, etc. Apparently some of the lawyers involved helped sue U.S. tobacco companies in the 1990s.
On another note, the picture used on the NY Times Web site was taken by Mary Sage, the very kind woman who showed me and John around when we went to Barrow in September. Her husband Joe has also had his pictures play well -- of polar bears specifically. His Web site is called Eskimo Joe's Photos.
