...early as 1993, according to evidence given to magistrates in Parma, Parmalat allegedly began to play fast and loose with its balance sheet. Starting in 1992, the group began buying up dairy and other companies in Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Hungary and the U.S. "It was a reversal of logic," says Vito Zincani, the chief investigating magistrate in Parma.

But change is incremental, and it seems reasonable to me that if vegans found...
...President Catherine C. Roche ’06 recently told The Crimson: “I don’t feel that people should have to spend their hard earned money on something that they oppose.” But if the University were to follow that logic, students would be allowed to opt out of myriad policies with which they feel moral conflict. Those against modern medical practices could opt out of the health services fee entirely. Vegetarian students would be allowed to abstain from portions of their meal plan fees, ensuring that their hard earned dollars were...
