...many of my friends and neighbors, I find people even more in doubt of his ability to lead us out of the national crises we are in. Joe Klein stated that he doubted whether many Americans could get past their "third" impression of Obama. For this voter, he is correct, but it is not because of my lack of "experience" with Obama. It is because of something very important that my parents taught me when I was a child: your character or lack of it will be judged by the company you keep. The fact that Obama held someone...
...sadly experienced déjà vu [March 17]. As a food technologist, I daily receive disquieting information on 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.

...even if he were correct, there isn’t much here for the well-meaning environmentalist. Jensen has nothing good to say about the ideals of the moderate green movement, of which Saskatoon can boast a strong contingent.

But James Kloppenberg, a professor of American history, questioned the origins of this argument. “There is almost always a lively disagreement in the classes I teach. I would be troubled if there weren?...
...needed to do," says global strategy head Gass. That courage was on full display on Feb. 26, when Starbucks closed all 7,100 of its company-owned U.S. stores (4,000 licensed locations remained open) for three hours to retrain 135,000 baristas. Part of the training involved the correct way to pull an espresso: into a shot glass, not a paper cup, a shortcut that had evolved to move the line more quickly. It was a strong statement that Starbucks cares about quality--with a clear shot glass, a barista can make sure the espresso correctly settles into three...
