...Miccosukees, the region's revival needs to move as quickly as its demise has. They've always known that the Everglades is as essential as a blood supply--a knee-deep sheet of water that rolls half a mile a day, from the Kissimmee River to Florida Bay, sustaining life in marshes, coral reefs and cities. But a half-century ago, everyone else deemed it a mosquito-infested alligator swamp that was in the way of sugar fields and pink ranch houses. So the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built canals and levees to drain, rechannel--and utterly trash--eons...
...Dell, a machinist with an ugly rap sheet, was arrested and charged with rape and capital murder. He had been seen at the County Line the evening Schartner was killed, though not with her.

The firm sampled 91 of the 441 commitments made in 14,000 places and found that 10.3 million children had been "touched," which means served...
Childish handwriting in black marker on a sheet of pink copy paper proclaims: "Gnomon Copy is the best + number ONE." Smiley faces adorn all the o's, and a large heart is drawn in the margin...
