...accepting the UFW's statements about working conditions, the Crimson staff exposes its lack of knowledge about present-day conditions on California farms. True, when the UFW began its campaign for better working conditions in the 1960s, working conditions on many farms were poor. Today, however, farms are held to strict regulations when it comes to field sanitation, health insurance, drinking water and pesticide use. Growers who apply pesticides to their crops (and nearly all do) must file pesticide application records with local authorities, and must keep workers out of those fields for a specified number of days after application...
Harvard never seemed seriously threatened in the game, but as one might expect, Sullivan is not fully satisfied with the present state of his team...
...groomed Woodward calmly testifying from the stand. Her defense team, featuring Barry Scheck, who had been part of O.J.

Rollers, paint buckets, empty cups and cigarettes inconspicuously occupy a seemingly unfinished corner of the exhibition. Yet on further examination we realize this is the exhibition and that the scattered objects are all carefully-crafted replicas of tools and trash. Any other artists couldn't get away with such preciousness, but we can't help but admire and buy into Fischli and Weiss' jokey yet obsessive conviction. Their installation of a museum installation turns a common '80s critique of display mechanics...
