...show in short pants, but this variety series, debuting in 1976, truly transcended demographics with its wacky skits, musical numbers and sharp show-biz humor. It's also fun as a field guide to '70s celebrities (Avery Schreiber! Mummenschanz!). Season 1 takes a while to hit its stride--the corn crop is heavier than usual in the early episodes--but by the end, Fozzie, Miss Piggy, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew et al. are fully fleshed, or rather fuzzed...
...cotton farmers aren't the only ones feeding at the government welfare trough. According to the Environmental Working Group, a Washington lobby group, last year the U.S. doled out more than $12 billion in subsidies to its farmers on everything from corn to sugar to tobacco. The Europeans spew out subsidies, shelling out $53 billion.

Just then, we spotted Stollichnaya whiling away at a particularly massive pumpkin. Totally enraptured by the task at hand, he stood silent, solemnly committed to carving the most profound pumpkin of all. Shaking off requests to give us a “hint” of what he was carving...
Griffin and her husband John had never grown corn before, but she decided to learn because she did not want the land that John's family has owned for five generations to lie fallow. "We don't want to grow houses. We want to grow crops," says Griffin, who says she spent around $30,000 on the maze, which had drawn about 2,000 visitors by mid-October. Griffin did have some setbacks, including an earworm infestation that required spraying. And even though she hasn't yet turned a profit, she hopes to next year. "People will...
