...company, IdentiGEN, specializes in DNA tracing of meat products - a process that can save valuable time during industry recalls, like the massive one on Sunday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) involving 143 million lbs. of raw and frozen beef. Currently, IdentiGEN is operating in Europe, where the mad cow crisis in the mid-'90s led to the establishment of a comprehensive system of traceability. All pork and beef products sold at the U.K.-based, worldwide megamarket TESCO, for example, have been logged by IdentiGEN and stamped with the IdentiGEN DNA TraceBack seal of approval...

All I'm interested in here is a more informed, educated, engaged, participatory public in matters of state. The more people who show up to vote informed...
...waking nightmare, a camp full of people trapped in the war: ex-soldiers attempt to complete digging the actual tunnels they never finished during the war and ex-Nazis break limbs and faces while masquerading as innocent displaced persons. Day cannot help but think, “Everybody is mad here, all permanently mad.”And the plot is far and away the work’s least compelling feature.
