Who doesn't want to be a Senator? What a great job -- as long as you don't have to campaign for it.

Having to campaign for the gig is a deal breaker, right? Embarrassing financial disclosures. Crazy ex-lovers coming out of the woodwork. The blogosphere lined up in full...

"Clearly this is an opportunity, not just a crisis moment," sustainability expert William McDonough told me. McDonough is one of Time magazine's Heroes of the Planet. I caught up with him -- no mean feat, by the way -- to find out how this global visionary would reimagine the...
