...grown locally. There's no reason to be importing those. If you would just commit to only buying local apples, that would make a huge impact. The Northeast Organic Farmers' Association of Maine did a study. If families spent just spent $10 a week on local produce during the six-month growing season in Maine, [farmers] would retain $100 million in revenue every year. So it's very powerful just to make a small effort. Once you do it a little bit at a time, the flavor really hooks...
...University. He and other Chinese students attended classes in Marxist social evolution, the history of revolutions and basic military training. Among heroes of the Russian Revolution who came to visit were Leon Trotsky and Nikolai Bukharin. Whether or not it made an impression at the time, Deng's six-month stay coincided with the end of Lenin's New Economic Policy, which included a return to some private agricultural production and denationalization of much small-scale industry...
...regularly scheduled six-month follow-up to his surgery for colon cancer last July, President Reagan paid a return visit last week to an operating room in Bethesda Naval Hospital. What had been billed as a routine examination proved to be a complicated series of tests.

...killed Rafiq Hariri? Barring a confession from the conspirators, the world may never know the full truth.

In the end, that defiance may have cost Hariri his life. But it also gave his countrymen-and, perhaps, the region-a chance for a different future...
...same company, hot flashes and an outdated hairstyle. The problem is, I can't quite squeeze it in. I've got this 11-year-old daughter who, while quite tolerant of my yoga habit, just might go off the rails if I indulge my yen for a six-month retreat at an ashram in Kerala. Then there's the college-tuition bill. Do you think Skidmore would cook up an emergency scholarship for my son if my contribution to the family income suddenly dropped to, say, zero? Oh, and there's one more problem. Since my husband is self-employed...
