...turns out, the feeling is mutual. According to one recent U.S. survey, a whopping 96 percent of consumers say they do not trust their HMO, 93 percent do not trust their health insurer and 88 percent do not trust their telecom provider. Which industry has the lowest mistrust rating? Only 60 percent say they mistrust their supermarket...
...along the 600-mile route. Insurgents Saturday blew a hole in Baghdad's key water pipeline, leaving residents without drinking water for days.

Official pronouncements stated that the end of shopping was not the objective, but most of the faculty conversations to which I was party focused less on predicting enrollments than on ending shopping. It was this ambivalence about goals that led to student mistrust of the proposal. Ultimately strong objections from several professors in the March Faculty meeting caused the proposal to be shelved, even though most faculty would probably have preferred that shopping be eliminated...
