quiescence
"The Copenhagen debacle could lead to a period of quiescence in which not much is done to pursue climate-change policy."
Anthony Giddens; Start the World, We Want to Get On; NewStatesman (London, UK); Feb 8, 2010.
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity. -Gilda Radner -actress and comedian (1946-1989)
Let a fool hold his tongue and he will pass for a sage.

U.S. and Russia Sign Nuclear Arms Pact
President Obama and his Russian counterpart, Dmitri A. Medvedev, signed a treaty on Thursday to trim their strategic nuclear arsenals to their lowest levels in half a century. The treaty caps a turnaround in relations with Moscow that hit bottom in August 2008 during the war between Russia and
its tiny southern neighbor, Georgia. When he arrived in office, Mr. Obama made restoring the relationship a priority, a goal that coincided with his vision expressed here a year ago of eventually ridding the world of nuclear weapons.
