They should design programs that celebrate food, that foster positive attitudes toward eating—more cooking classes, food tastings, and apple-picking field trips. So yes, in an ideal world, we’d all follow the ancient Okinawan...
...economist could be stubborn. After persuading Bush to reverse himself to reduce the deficit?a move that deeply damaged voters' trust and one that Bush called his biggest mistake?Darman maintained the error was tactical; the plan had just been badly presented.
