...Aldi has solved at least part of that problem. Tunis was among the first to arrive at the grand opening of an Aldi store in downtown Sanford, next to one of Seminole County's largest shopping centers. Now he's hoping other grocers will follow Aldi's lead. "There's really no equivalent at the moment," he says. Deep discounters like Aldi can challenge both conventional supermarket chains as well as Wal-Mart, America's largest grocer. Indeed, Wal-Mart ultimately found it too hard to compete in Germany, where deep-discounters are firmly entrenched, and left...
...defending the use of the program, Hutchins described its targets as "fringe people." Other than describing some of my family, I hadn't realized fringe was a criminal activity. But more to the point, What does Maryland know about terrorism? Does the Baltimore grocer from Pakistan's North Waziristan merit ending up on Maryland's terrorist list because he calls home every weekend...
Qalibaf's true colors aren't clear. Relatively young, at 46, for Iranian politics, he is neither a turbaned mullah nor a bearded revolutionary but a manager who seems more interested in paving potholed streets than in parroting empty slogans.

Above all, the election was a resounding personal triumph for Margaret Hilda Thatcher, 57, the grocer's daughter from Grantham, Lincolnshire, whose arrival at 10 Downing Street in 1979 was considered by many in her party to be a fluke. Emerging from far outside the ranks of the Tory Establishment and claiming only four years' experience in a minor Cabinet post (as Education Secretary in the early 1970s), Thatcher was virtually untutored in the art of governing, untested under fire. But in four years' time she earned the nickname "Iron Lady," as a tough, gritty leader who seemed to relish...
