The Financial Times Of London examines the uptick in gold as world markets and the US dollar tumble. Common Sense looks deeper down the economic hole.
In environmental news, Salon reports on American's water problem as well as the double edged sword of organic jeans. Common Dreams talks with a poet and old-tyme farmer, while Alternet reports on China's pollution revolution and discusses the environmental disparity between the rich and poor.
Finally, the New Hampshire roundup, featuring seven articles of analysis: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; two articles of fallout: 1 2; and one on the resulting conspiracy theory.
