...glad to read your story, but you forgot the importance of buying local products. Farming in America is not broken down into small organic farms and massive factories. Hundreds of small family farms provide safe, healthy food to their communities, even though they do not farm organically. These farmers rely on pasturing, sanitary conditions and care to keep their animals healthy and happy, without depleting the environment. While local food will always cost more, it is often more affordable and offers many of the health benefits of organic food. Emily Everett, WILLIAMSBURG...

That would be my preference. Maybe not a court that...
...With the center-left opposition all but nonexistent in Italy's Parliament, everyone is on the lookout for potential Judases within the ruling majority's ranks. And as far as the Italian media are concerned, Gianfranco Fini, president of Parliament's lower house, is filling that role nicely. The local paper in Bologna, Il Resto del Carlino, like others in Italy, offers daily updates on a brewing feud between Berlusconi and Fini, the most powerful right-wing politician from this traditionally left-leaning city. Last week, Fini demanded "more democracy" within the center-right coalition and lashed out at Berlusconi...
