...shipping grain by rail or truck isn't feasible on a large scale; it's too costly, and freight lines are already booked solid. It would take as many as 60 trucks to transport the 55,000 bu. of corn that would fit on a barge, says David Feider, a spokesman for the grain exporter Cargill. "We're not diverting cargo," he says. The prospect of corn being dumped on the domestic market has already depressed spot prices. But don't expect a break in the price of cornflakes. The corn in a 1-lb. box costs cereal makers just...

...serious ramifications for a person’s future that the threshold for ineligibility should be both high—a felony conviction, for example—and consistent. (A higher threshhold would, of course, continue to allow colleges to enforce their own codes of conduct as they see fit.) On the whole, the AEP is indicative of a larger problem with the federal government’s War on Drugs. Rather than tie drug convictions to rehabilitation or education programs, the AEP sets drug offenders further back by denying them access to education. Such hard paternalism is the hallmark...

...questions, including some of a very personal nature. The photos of the discipline [a small whip] and the cilice [a chain] presented them in such a way that readers might not know whether they were looking at instruments of torture or a means of Christian penance that could fit in the palm of one's hand.

But readers might form an opinion...

...Guns aren't moral agents, they're machines-elegant, superbly efficient, made to fit the human hand. I now think it entirely possible that the American gunsmith John Moses Browning "sitteth," as his admirers say, "at the right hand of God." Shooting for sport isn't, as I once thought, the desperate outlet of sad Hemingway types, but a fiendishly difficult art. As Peter, a former naval officer, says, "It's got all the Zen you could want." Trying to hit a bullseye smaller than a saucer from a distance of 100 m or more-and do it over...

...slick Billy Flynn in “Chicago.”Good choreography is a necessary force for any musical, but for “Footloose” in particular, and here, the choreography is brilliant. Jennings deserves high praise for her work—dance numbers that easily fit both Broadway and an ’80s night club. Her greatest achievement is to provide a general, synchronized choreography while allowing each dancer to maintain their individual character. In turn, the group of enthusiastic and skilled dancers do justice to Jenning’s lively, flamboyant, and overall excellent...
