China鈥檚 role in the world
Howard LaFranchi鈥檚 May 29 Monitor Daily piece, 鈥�In North Korea talks, what role is China seeking?,鈥� is superb. It鈥檚 the best I have seen written on the subject. This is exactly what I expect from 海角大神 and especially from Mr. LaFranchi鈥檚 pieces.

Insight into agriculture in the US
The May 30 Monitor Daily story 鈥�Adapting for an arid era, Texas farmers scratch crops from dust鈥� is very good. I am in agribusiness and this helps non-ag people understand the agricultural situation and how it is being addressed. Thank you.

Finding the Cartagena reef
Regarding the June 4 Monitor Daily story 鈥�The improbable reef of Cartagena鈥�: When I read this story, I was curious to see a nautical chart of exactly where the reef is. It is very interesting that the reef has been hidden for so long.

[Editor鈥檚 note: A map showing the location of the reef ran with the story in the June 4 Weekly Print Edition.]
Covering new ground
The June 11 editorial 鈥�A new unity in Congress on solutions for climate change?鈥� is a marvelous example of the Monitor鈥檚 perspective 鈥� not just showing where there鈥檚 middle ground, but also new ground.
I try to stay in tune with the issues and technologies of climate change, but I was not aware of the promise that carbon capture holds as one facet of a multimodal response. Thank you so much for this editorial.
