A warrior with a woman’s heart After abandoning her lifelong goal of becoming an actress, a young Rikki Klieman approached a former professor for advice about her future. "How about that First Amendment course?" he asked her. "You did very well." "I loved that course. That was my favorite course in college!" "Why don’t you think about going to law school?" She had never given it a moment’s thought. "Girls don’t go to law school," she told him. "No, but women do." From there, it was just a little more than a decade until a thirty-five-year-old Rikki was named one of Amer

When Bill Bratton was sworn in as New York City’s police commissioner in 1994, he made what many considered a bold promise: The NYPD would fight crime in every borough...and win. It seemed foolhardy; even everybody knows you can’t win the war on crime. But Bratton delivered. In an extraordinary twenty-seven months, serious crime in New York City went down by 33 percent, the murder rate was cut in half--and Bill Bratton was heralded as the most charismatic and respected law enforcement official in America.. In this outspoken account of his news-making career, Bratton reveals ho

The hydrological cycle of the Arctic Ocean has intimate and complex linkages to global climate: changes in one affect the other, usually with a feedback. The combined effects of large river runoff, advection of meteoric water, low evaporation rates and distillation by freezing contribute to the formation of a strong halocline in the upper Arctic ocean, which limits thermal communication between the sea ice and the warmer waters of Atlantic origin below. Sea ice and freshened surface waters are transported from the marginal seas by winds and currents, ultimately exiting the Arctic Ocean
