...Fresh ideas. I don't sense that conservatism is exhausted. There's new thinking on domestic policy that could serve as the basis of an interesting agenda for the G.O.P. nominee. Ross Douthat and Reihan Salam explain in their forthcoming book on "Sam's Club Republicans" how the G.O.P. can do a better job of responding to the anxieties of working and middle-class Americans in areas like tax policy and health insurance, and the Ethics and Public Policy Center's Yuval Levin suggests a complementary policy agenda--"Putting Parents First," he calls it--aimed at those same swing voters...
...days, in the final weeks of winter, it would be unfair to ask Whole Foods to sell predominantly local produce at my store, because so little can be grown in the Northeast right now. But even during verdant summertime, the vast majority of products sold at my Whole Foods (fresh or otherwise) aren't from the Northeast. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that the packages in which most Whole Foods groceries are sold say nothing about the food's origin. For instance, in the freezer section you can find Whole Foods' Whole Kitchen brand Breaded Eggplant Slices...
...turns out csas are a wonderfully market-driven idea: you join with others in your community to invest in a local farm. At the beginning of the season, members pay the farmer a lump sum.

...ruling Peronist Party. Left-wing legislator Araceli Mendez introduced draft legislation in Congress a few months ago to confiscate the American's vast holdings. The Argentine press has suggested he might be a covert CIA operative securing American access to the aquifer as fears increase of a worldwide fresh water shortage over the coming decades. "He says he's worried about the birds and the wildlife," said Mendez. "But his land is above the Guarani aquifer, one of the most important fresh water reserves in the world, only 700 kilometers [434 miles] from an airbase the United States plans...
...those anti-Gringo fears have been fanned by the Argentine military's own public concern about the Guarani aquifer. Military planners are convinced that Argentina's oil and fresh water deposits could become vulnerable targets for major world powers in an ecologically dark future, and are acting accordingly, putting together "Plan 2025," parceling the country into regions based on their resource potential. "Each division will be based in the geographical areas where the natural resources that we hypothetically must defend are located," Argentine Army Commander-in-Chief Roberto Bendini said when the plan was unveiled late last year...
