China鈥檚 role in the world
Howard LaFranchi鈥檚 May 29 Monitor Daily piece, 鈥淚n 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 鈥淎dapting 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 鈥淭he 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.

Covering new ground
The June 11 editorial 鈥淎 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.
