...hardly exists to begin with. A recent submission to the The Times’ competition for the best British slogan perhaps put it best: “Once Mighty Empire, Slightly Used.” It would be far more worthwhile to concentrate on assimilating the multiplicity of the nation??s ethnicities and religions, through tolerance of ideas like Williams’, rather than maintain an unbending nationalistic tone...
...history, four times larger than the previous record. More alarmingly, the recall affected over 37 million pounds of hamburgers, tacos, and sandwiches served through America’s school lunch program, with the USDA sheepishly admitting that most of that total had already been consumed by the nation??s youngsters...
...nation??s meat inspection system is corrupt and incompetent.

The veterinarian at Hallmark/Westland arrived every day at a pre-announced time—and workers only abused the animals outside of these hours...

The USDA now argues that the Humane Slaughter Act does not apply to poultry at all—meaning that 90 percent of the nation??s farm animals, or nine billion birds, are killed every year with no federal oversight. The Humane Society is contesting that interpretation, but in the meantime anything is allowed—as workers at a West Virginia Pilgrim’s Pride Slaughterhouse demonstrated when undercover footage revealed them stomping on live chickens and slamming others...

The Big Red beat Harvard for the first time in four years, paced by the torrid shooting of guard Gretchen Gregg—the nation??s leading three-point shooter at 48 percent from beyond the arc—and a ferocious effort on the offensive glass. Cornell outrebounded Harvard 45-25 overall and corralled 18 offensive rebounds on the night.“They had almost as many offensive rebounds as we had total rebounds...
