« Levy and SEIU tangle again on union drive | Main | Teaching brain pathology by hand » Tuesday, September 11, 2007Today's Globe: carbon footprint, digestible labels, gifted parrot, designs on a cureCustomers buying Timberland shoes now have something to think about other than style, comfort, and price -- global warming.
