...arrival and the prospect of the Celtics reaching the NBA Finals. Such is the nature of Boston fans, so quick to complain but equally quick to regain hope. In the same sentence, another middle-aged man in line decried Rick Pitino as the Antichrist and declared Kevin Garnett the savior of the franchise.

He even gets credit for standing up to the Indians at Kargil...
Those hoping for an objective look at the role of organics or the farming industry in general will be disappointed; despite the movie’s title, the documentary is noticeably dirt-free and stays clear of the controversy over organic farming. Casting community farming as the savior of American farms over evil big business, Siegel glosses over certain questions—for instance, what is the role of the wealthy urban “shareholders” who apparently fund the operation...
