...make it into these classy establishments spill onto the streets. Around every metro stop and in every underground crossing are makeshift kiosks and tables, called, lapki, that sell newspapers, fruit, books, CDs, videos, clothing, hats, groceries and whatever else the market will bear. This is capitalism at its rawest. Muscovites no longer need to wait in line for stale bread, and they know longer need to trade kitschy revolutionary pins for American blue jeans...
...second, it is pernicious nonsense to think that bringing out the deepest, rawest, most unspoken parts of our souls is somehow the road to racial healing.

But the mine's leach pad, designed to catch sodium cyanide flushed through pulverized rock to dissolve gold, had been installed badly, in midwinter. It leaked, and the resulting solution of heavy metals in the acidic drainage poisoned 17 miles of the Alamosa River, which waters farms and ranches in the San Luis Valley...
...B.C.C.I. from 1978 through 1990, as well as attorneys for First American, billing the two banks for more than $1 million during that period. Clifford, who has long defended Abedi, says he is no longer so sure about the bank's ownership or Abedi's role. "I got the rawest deal of all by not being told what was going on," he told TIME. "If the Federal Reserve was deceived...
