Going organic poses another kind of problem, for that will mean that the Thanksgiving turkey must be imported from an organic farm for a dollar a pound.

The elite jobless, many of them middle-aged men with families, must try to convince skeptical employers that their mastery of such subjects as missile design, spy-satellite control...
