...long and illustrious tradition. The nutty flavors and raven tones of forbidden rice were once reserved for Chinese emperors. Silkie chickens, whose snowy white feathers cover birds with black skin, flesh and bones, are prized throughout Asia for their deep, gamy flavor and used in soupy tonics said to enrich blood and improve health. And in Japan, dark foods like black vinegar drinks, black soy milk and black sesame breakfast cereals are currently so popular that Häagen-Dazs even sells a black sesame ice cream...
Jefferson's "cultivators of the earth" didn't have genetically engineered seeds or 530-horsepower tractors. They had 1-horsepower horses. And they didn't have subsidies either.

I would encourage the committee to think expansively about consultation on a range of issues, both with students, faculty, and others on campus, and with our broad external...
...framing of the issues and the related questions is meant to define a starting place, not an end point, for the work of the task force. I take it for granted that the talent, experience, and creativity represented in the membership of the committee will enrich both the framing of the issues and the conceptualization of answers and specific recommendations. It is my hope that the task force will complete the bulk of its work during the 2007-08 academic year, with a final report to be submitted by the early fall...
