...days bore and frighten me at the same time. I say they bore because they are full of routines, and because I simply have not come to terms with the whole idea of being at Harvard University, school of the free and home of the brave. I say they frighten because I look around me and see that I am sitting still in a very fast-paced world. While I contemplate my problems or my inadequacies, I am letting unique opportunities go unexplored...
Fortunately so, for I would have hated to squander the delights of Medea. Really brave of these Harvard thespians to tell a story about infanticide and make it into bravura cabaret. Rhythmic dancing heralded the beginning, sturdy men waddled onto stage with oh-so-low booming voices, and the dancers and performers artfully tripped over most of the set.

But what was courageous in Rio is short-sighted now. Regulations like the Endangered Species Act similarly pose a conflict between environment and economy, and Bush has rightly pointed out the absurdity of saying to American businesses, "You can't build a factory here because we're protecting the grass." What Bush fails to realize, however, is that not all environmental regulations conflict with business interests...
...then, hundreds of farmers in Arkansas alone have signed on, many of them paying dues anonymously. "Yes, I'm afraid," says grower Don Allen, a leader of the Arkansas movement. "And that's a terrible thing to say in the land of the free and the home of the brave." Last February a Tyson memo to managers urged them to spread the word that the organizing was being led by "shady characters" such as socialists and animal-rights activists...
