...among many. "Rice is basically buggered," says Brett Heffernan, of Australia's National Farmers' Federation. In a normal year, Australia's 2,000 rice farmers produce about 1.2 million metric tons of the grain. This year's harvest was a paltry 18,000 tons - the lowest yield since 1927, when the country's rice industry was four years old.

Branson likes to cultivate an image of himself as a risk taker.

Both infractions stemmed the Crimson’s attack, but the latter proved more damaging, as Brett Wilson tallied a man-advantage score to give the Tigers a two-goal cushion with just over three minutes remaining. Kalemba stopped the other 10 shots that came his way in the third period. By the time Magnowski slid the puck into the empty Harvard net at 18:22, Princeton?...
Farewell to Arms I read your article about Brett Favre's retirement from football, then reread it - and read it one more time [March 17]. Green Bay Packers backers here in Wisconsin have had a very sad week. We are all happy for Favre and wish him well, but we wonder what in the world we will do without him. Your article reminded me that I am not alone. Thank you! Mary Towne, DELAFIELD...
