...shop in supermarkets, you'd be forgiven for thinking that apples come in only four or five varieties, and pretty bland ones at that. But a visit to Britain's National Fruit Collection at Brogdale would immediately dispel that notion. Brogdale boasts the world's largest collection of fruit trees across 61 hectares of fertile Kent countryside - over 2,300 varieties of apple, 550 of pear, 350 of plum and 220 of cherry, as well as more than 320 varieties of bush fruits, nuts and vines. All of Brogdale's fruits have different characteristics of shape, color, flavor, sweetness, fragrance...

However disturbing the conviction, it paled next to allegations that she had sexually abused two of the children, or, in the unforgettable words of the court, "committed a lewd...

It reads: “Samuel Huntington on how Hispanic immigrants threaten America’s identity, values, and way of life.” This is misleading. It should instead read: “Samuel Huntington on how large numbers of unassimilated Hispanic immigrants who profess dual nationalities and thus dual loyalties to Mexico and the U.S. threaten America’s identity, values, and way of life...
