Your cover story on organic vs. local food made me realize how fortunate I am to live in the Garden State [March 12]. Here, farmers sell produce from roadside stands, often within view of their fields, and offer everything from asparagus to zucchini. I'm not concerned if the fruits and vegetables I buy from local farms are organically or conventionally grown; the produce is freshly picked, bursting with flavor and low in cost. As for my search for the perfect apple, I need not look farther than five miles from my home to find a farmer who grows...
...area as far into the future as 2057.Over the last month, Allston residents have expressed concerns in community blogs and at meetings with Harvard officials that the art center’s proposed building on Western Avenue does not fit community needs.

...What’s unique about this scientific task—identifying and cataloguing the orbits of NEOs—is that can be accomplished without using tremendous resources. In the past decade, 20 professional and 100 amateur astronomers across the globe, led by the Garden Street-based MPC, have identified three-quarters of asteroids at least one kilometer across, and all on a budget of a not-so-gargantuan $4 million per year (in 1996 dollars).

Now, 18 months after Katrina, it turns out that some of the state's coastal cypress forests, which help protect against storm surges by absorbing excess wind and water, are being clear-cut to make mulch, the soil stabilizer found in many gardens. Removing these trees could aggravate the impact of the next big storm. "People who garden should be disturbed that critical forests are being shredded just to end up in their flower beds," says Sierra Club's Orli Cotel. Chuck Corbitt, CEO of Corbitt Manufacturing, a top mulch supplier, told TIME that...
...Nelson Galucho, who was stationed in the compound's garden, says Reinado did not give the order to shoot until another rebel, Deolindo Barros, was killed. But less than 30 minutes after the gun battle began, the Australians-for reasons as yet unknown-stopped firing and pulled back, allowing Reinado and his surviving men to escape through the thick rainforest on the western side of the hill. Behind them they left the bodies of Barros, Natalino Pereira, Maranes Henrique and Calisto Tilman. The body of a fifth, unidentified man was found two days after the raid, but it was unclear...
