...never saw the Canton Bulldogs or the Decatur Staleys play professional football. I don't care what anyone thinks; I'm not that old. But I did grow up in Wisconsin, where the last of the small town teams, the Green Bay Packers, claimed my childish heart and, to this day, my aging one. Romantically - and doubtless erroneously - I continue to believe that today's insanely well-paid Packers (representing a franchise worth hundreds of millions) have some near-mystical connection with pro-football's prehistoric days, when, if the players were lucky, they might get fifty or a hundred...
...Zealand natural's ice creams go down a treat in China. The popularity of flavors like Chocolate Ecstasy and Green Tea has helped the company build 43 outlets in the People's Republic in two and a half years. But a 19% tariff on imported ice cream takes a giant lick out of the profits. "It's an awful margin that just goes to the Chinese government rather than allowing us to make a better return," says CEO Shane Lamont. When 150 New Zealand trade officials and businessmen take off for Beijing this weekend, Lamont's hopes of seeing...
...perhaps the most remarkable change of all is in how Baghdadis view the U.S. military presence. A year ago, Hammadi was in a minority: most Iraqis living outside the Green Zone saw the Americans as the main cause of their country's problems.

This morning's topic is suicide bombings. Instructor Ron Haskins, a former Green Beret, warns, "We want to get the terrorists when they're recruiting, planning, training, preparing, because once they start, they're going to blow themselves up in some way." The first responders tour a house set up as a suicide-bomb factory. The kitchen is littered with chemicals, including a jar of yellow liquid simulating human urine, which can be distilled into an ingredient for an explosive called urea nitrate (used in the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993). Haskins explains the assault to a visiting...
...even if he were correct, there isn’t much here for the well-meaning environmentalist. Jensen has nothing good to say about the ideals of the moderate green movement, of which Saskatoon can boast a strong contingent. The city, home to a large public university, is chock-full of organic-buying, bottle-recycling, hip-dressing young activists (alongside the more conservative SUV-drivers). Many of them are engaged in projects that focus on empowering individuals to make small green changes in their lives—the Saskatchewan Environmental Society, for example, provides homeowners with information about pesticide alternatives...
