Luckily, we here at The Mirror had already planned this issue on global warming -- less due to an amazing sense of foresight and more due to the Discovery Channel's repeats of "Planet Earth." But despite Sigourny Weaver's assurances, the environment isn't as clear-cut an issue as those never-before-seen camera angles would make it seem. Cute penguins die, and some people doubt global warming -- apparently that's how the world works. For more disillusionment, turn to page four, where Amy Davis doesn't just toe the Al Gore line. If you want something a little lighter, like smog floating in the air, turn to page six for some takes on dressing for the weather by Jean Ellen Cowgill and Katherine Gorman. And for something completely different, turn to Divya Gunasekaran's analysis of metal on page seven.
You might notice that the new year brings some changes with it to the Dartmouth Mirror. Or you might be blind. Either way, I hope you like it because we ain't lookin' back. Also looking forward in this issue is Alex Howe. Let your eyes wander over to his column for some solid advice on how to win this year's Super Bowl pool (or the bet with your friends on which Spears sister pops another one out first).
So I hope you enjoy this ish -- oh hell, who am I kidding, you've already turned to the back page to see if "Overheards" is still there. Don't worry, I'm not that radical. You know you love me!
