Readers Write: Less population growth means more water; More to 'Heart of Darkness'; Partisanship kills progress

11/11/2013 12:00 am ET Letters to the Editor for the November 11, 2013 weekly print magazine: The Middle East's population boom will exacerbate the regions' upcoming water shortage.

Does this phenomenon not explain why those who seek compromise have essentially been excoriated by Congress?
