We're pleased to announce that Jamie Lincoln Kitman's special report, "The Secret History of Lead" (March 20, 2000), has been awarded the Investigative Reporters and Editors' highest honor for 2000: the IRE Medal. The IRE, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of investigative reporting, singled out Kitman's revelations of continuing sales of leaded gas to the Third World after it was banned in the United States in 1986 and said that his report "reads like a classic turn-of-the-century muckraking piece.... The research manifested here is nothing short of breathtaking." The article was made possible by a grant from the Investigative Fund of the Nation Institute.

El Arca del Arcoiris

Al manifestarse a favor del matrimonio igualitario, el presidente Obama hizo más que “evolucionar” hacia una nueva posición: dio su apoyo moral a medio siglo de lucha por los derechos gay.

Obama and the Arc of the Rainbow (Barack Obama, Gender Issues, Sex and Sexuality)

The president’s endorsement of same-sex marriage is a testament to the generations of activists who waged a brave and often lonely battle for gay rights.
