...will be transformed as Minnesota buys up networks and cable companies. News will be less about politics and more about civilization--history, art, literature and sweet corn. And creamed onions. The movie business, as Minnesota buys major studios, will start to make pictures in which snow occurs as a normal part of life. Movies in which there is less machine gunning and car bombing and more scenes in which people enjoy a good meal and tell jokes...
...been easy for Jamison, 49. As a therapist, she well knows the stigma that mental frailty carries, and she worried about the effect her confession would have on her patients and colleagues. Some patients were shocked when she told them, she recalls. "They said, 'You're so normal, so Brooks Brothers. You don't look like you've had a problem in your life.'"

...fact, by retaining the basic principle of insurance, they preserve health care as a salad bar where you can eat as much as you want at no extra cost.

But you don't call a sitting judge's writing's incoherent." Testimony in the trial was canceled for another day as defense lawyers tried to find other ways to get evidence about Fuhrman's alleged past misconduct on the job into court...
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COVER STORY BY Robert Hughes. Nothing more clearly illustrates the incestuous relationship between the self-styled cultural elite and their claque in the popular press or better epitomizes how out of touch with normal Americans you people are. "What would Tocqueville have thought of today's assaults on the fabric of America's public culture?" you ask.
