The European Commission estimates that grain production will drop by about 28 million tons, or about 10%, in the four countries, with output of some types of wheat down by 25%. Olive and vegetable growers are worried about heavy losses, and there's been a big increase in forest fires. What's to blame?

Central planners still set broad production goals, but they directly assign only a portion of raw materials and distribute at fixed prices only a set quota of a factory's output.

She has brought together some 200 watercolors--almost a third of Homer's known output. It is a wholly delectable show, and it makes clear why watercolor, in its special freshness and immediacy, gave Homer access to moments of vision he did not have in the weightier, slower diction of oils...
