...random, much the same way Larry King seems to select wives. The first person I reached was Lisa Davis of Des Moines, Iowa. After I explained that I really wasn't selling anything, I had a nice conversation with Lisa, a 42-year-old grandmother of two and cashier at Casey's General Store.

A couple of officers from the Harvard University Police Department stop in to pick up an order. There is an unmistakable warmth in the room that doesn’t seem to emanate solely from...

Especially in cafeteria food service and janitorial work, which are not closely supervised, slowdowns and corner-cutting are easy.
