...availability and rising prices. Several companies I deal with are becoming desperate as stocks of flax and corn, to name but two examples, are virtually extinct. You were certainly correct to cite biofuels and bad harvests as the key reasons for this scarcity. Several of our suppliers readily admit they have sold their stocks of sugar, corn and rapeseed to biofuel manufacturers simply because they can make a lot more money that way. I wish you had cited the declaration of Jean Ziegler, the independent U.N. expert on food, that biofuels made from foodstuffs are a crime against humanity. Maarten...

I fed a calf a big bottle; that went alright. And then we went bowling - didn't do so good. There was an eight-year-old giving me tips since I hadn't played since I was about eight...
...appeal, for Putin at least, of a compromise accepting the presence of the missile shield on its borders in exchange for keeping its southern neighbors out of NATO. It remains to be seen, however, whether President Bush - who talked passionately on Tuesday about the need for NATO to admit Georgia and Ukraine - is ready to split the difference...
