...Common Cause, Andreas, his wife and ADM have given a total of $1.4 million in so-called soft, or unrestricted, funds to the Republican Party since 1991, as well as $759,000 to the Democrats. In return for his largese, Andreas has often seemed to reap what he has sown. For example, ADM profits handsomely from federal programs that raise U.S. sugar prices above the world level, at an estimated cost to consumers of $1.4 billion a year.

...bigger than a freckle, the tiny deer tick has sown panic from Montauk to Minneapolis as a carrier of Lyme disease -- an illness that has struck more than 71,000 Americans and left hundreds permanently disabled.

If the standard of peace is compromised for the sake of public relations, real peace will be elusive...
...black artist to enter MOMA's collection. It seemed to both Alfred Barr of MOMA and Duncan Phillips that Lawrence's series represented a unique conjunction of black experience, history painting and a modernist idiom. They were right. From Benjamin West to Robert Rauschenberg, American art is sown with attempts, varying between utter bathos and success, to image forth the American story. And for reasons that are lamentably obvious, practically none of these were created by blacks, until Lawrence appeared...
