Automakers, who earlier this week filed a lawsuit to block new California emissions standards, are right that the federal government should set such standards. As the automakers contend, a national standard is preferable to differing sets of state regulation. But, in the absence of federal action on reducing pollutants that contribute to local health problems and global climate change, states such as Maine are right to step in.

The state represents about 10 percent of the U.S. car market. Many states follow California's lead on auto emissions rules. Combined, these states comprise about a quarter of the car mar...

The late 1960s- when dictatorship in Brazil still restricted and shaped activism, while feminism in the North was experiencing a revival, and new forms of global capital were on the roam- was one of these latter times.2 In 1969, the radical women's health movement had burst onto the scene in Boston, with the publication of Our Bodies, Our Selves, a health manual that sought to empower women by providing accessible information about their bodies.3 The movement affirmed the power of knowledge about the body and challenged its monopoly by medical "experts." By 2008, there were twentynine foreign language editions, as well as innumerable unofficial translations and adaptations of the original.'1 Travelers from the global South encountered flourishing women's health movements in Europe and ...
