Once touted as an environmental and economic cure-all, corn ethanol has had a rough year.

("Is the toppings bar ready for its close-up? Let us cue the orchestra as we pan lovingly, lingeringly, over the delights in the tiny containers.") But if the slow zoom sometimes verges on the picayune, it also highlights the eternal puzzle of summer pacing. Benji and his friends can't wait to get out to Sag, but once they do, they...
