...will, as has happened on so many occasions in the past century. Is morality applicable only on a small scale? We get the politicians we deserve, goes the saying. But do the gentle, life-revering Buddhists of Burma and Tibet deserve the thugs who control them? Peter Phillpotts, Matlock, England...
...music industry. Indeed, there is more than a measure of irony in the Pistols' being anointed to the iconic pantheon of a genre they had decried as fatuously boring and had aimed to destroy. Still, the actual band-drummer Paul Cook, guitarist Steve Jones, original bass player Glen Matlock and infamously thorny frontman, John Lydon (a.k.a.

I think, Ms. WBT, that your ethical self-redemption hinges on the fact that you had no idea of the “goings-on.” But come on, Ms. Matlock. The creepy furniture and leering shopkeep.

You’re the first one I’ve met. Strange, Ms. WBT. I think there?...

Some 85% of the roughly 19 billion lbs. of edible oils Americans consume each year comes from soy. About 10 billion lbs. of that soy oil gets hydrogenated, according to Mark Matlock, senior vice president of food research at Archer Daniels Midland (ADM). But alternatives are on the horizon. ADM, for example, has developed oils that not only behave like hydrogenated oils but also, Matlock says, are relatively healthy. The biotech giant Monsanto, meanwhile, is working on a variety of seeds...
