...turns to this line of work when Lila (Misty Upham), an outcast from the Indian reservation, steals her car, which is ideal for smuggling - capacious trunk and a dashboard release button, handy for quickly off-loading human cargo should trouble arise. The two women form an uneasy partnership and, of course, bad things do start to haunt them. There are the cops and the border patrol to worry about. Also the dangerous scumbags who run the smuggling ring. And the possibility that the ice on the river might crack under the car's weight...
...from the outside - if they did more to guarantee property rights, cut red tape and so on. But these changes come slowly. In the meantime, we can't wait. As a businessman, I've seen that companies can tap new markets right now, even if conditions aren't ideal. And as a philanthropist, I've found that our caring for others compels us to help people right now. The longer we wait, the more people suffer needlessly...
...Exhaustion didn't help: in the run-up to the vote, the 25-year-old stagiaire - an E.U. intern - had flown back to her native Ireland to canvass for a yes.

But online dating expands that pool to tens of thousands of people and erases the "blind" element of the classic set-up. As Goldmann puts it, greater efficiency means better matches...
...Rosen and other activists can attest, horticulture--with its regular, seasonal rewards--is also an ideal vehicle for community-organizing. For instance, in Portland, Ore., where vacant lots are scarce, an ad on Craigslist asking for unused land gave rise to City Garden Farms, a quarter acre (0.1 hectare) spread out over 12 backyards. Not much arm-twisting was involved. "This adds to the value of our community," says co-founder Martin Barrett. Indeed, edible gardens have become so trendy that in St. Louis, Mo., a housing developer is including an organic farm as a subdivision amenity, and in Queens...
