At The Arlington Institute, we believe that to understand the future, you need to have an open mind and cast a very wide net. To that end, FUTUREdition explores a cross-disciplinary palette of issues, from the frontiers of science and technology to major developments in mass media, geopolitics, the environment, and social perspectives.<\/p>\n

The Food We Eat and the Health We Get<\/span>
\nhttp:\/\/www.arlingtoninstitute.org\/library\/thefoodweeat-080805.pdf<\/a>
\nHere in Washington twenty-six years ago Nora Pouillon started what became the first certified organic restaurant in the U.S. Having eaten there on a number of occasions, I can tell you that it is particularly tasty as well as good food. Nora has thought a lot about food and farms and nutrition and is a very persuasive advocate for organic food. In the spring I heard her give a talk that was full of attention-getting facts and statistics about what we put in our mouths and where it comes from. You can find it here. Take a special look at the bullets on the second page.<\/p>\n

Roberts v. The Future<\/span>
\nhttp:\/\/www.johnbatchelorshow.com\/article.cfm?id=1611<\/a>
\nIn the case of Supreme Court nominees such as John Roberts, looking backwards may not be the most reliable way to predict the future. In the next 10 or 15 years, as technology and science continue to advance and as America’s demographic profile continues to change, the Supreme Court will, in all likelihood, be asked to decide an array of divisive issues that are now only dimly on the horizon. Rather than focusing on Roberts’s past, the senators questioning him might get a better sense of his performance on the Supreme Court by imagining the issues of the next generation.<\/p>\n
