...waste dump is actually in South Carolina, so we also waste fossil fuels in transporting the garbage since the recycling plant is only three miles away,” Tian said...
...very beginning, we bucked tradition. When the experts said that something was "always done" in a certain way, we'd do it our way, which was sometimes the very opposite. Finding someone to bottle the dressing was the most difficult part of getting under way. We traveled to a plant in North Carolina to see a major bottler, who, as it turned out, was interested only in runs of 100,000 or more. We considered taking on a partner, and with that in mind we approached the Bigelow Tea Co. in neighboring Norwalk. But they were unenthusiastic about the potential...
None of the big commercial bottlers took us seriously. With the help of a local food broker, David Kalman, we finally did locate a bottler named Andy Crowley, who was exactly the kind of bottler we were seeking; Crowley ran Ken's, a small bottling plant outside Boston that made bottled dressing for Ken's Steakhouse, a modest Boston restaurant, and a private-label dressing for Stop & Shop.

The usher patiently explained that the play is, after all, set in a cigar factory--a family-owned plant in Tampa, Fla., in 1929, where the Cuban-American workers have just hired a new "lector" to read novels to them while they work. Cigar smoke, however, is only one of the sweet and strange aromas that waft from Anna in the Tropics. Written in the lyrical, somewhat formalized language of a folktale...
