Newt Gingrich and Terry L. Maple offer a welcome and thought-provoking set of ideas to tackle the nation's and the world's major environmental problems ("Forging a New, Bipartisan Environmental Movement," Issues, Winter 2008). Their call for a return to bipartisanship on environmental matters, improved scientific and environmental literacy, and an emphasis on incentives to encourage and reward environmental results is a message with which one cannot disagree. And yet one wishes they might have returned to a tantalizing subject they raise only briefly in their essay's opening sentence. There they note that their shared passion for the living earth stems from a common source: the joyful youth that each spent outdoors. Like many others, their firsthand exposure to nature in their childhoods lit a spark in each of them that still burns today.
