While researching a fictional trilogy about the Civil War, Kim Murphy kept coming across the assertion that it was a “low-rape” war.

UN Summit Rio +20

In the night from Friday to Saturday until Polish ended UN Summit Rio +20. In the final declaration, representatives from nearly 200 countries agreed to within 3 years to define the objectives of sustainable development (SDG). It is talking about "green", environmentally friendly economy, which may be the answer to both the deterioration of the environment and the economic crisis.

Abbreviation "Rio +20" refers to the twentieth anniversary of the fateful Earth Summit in Rio in 1992.
