...economists, however, blissful predictions like these are bunk. "I don't believe it's that big of a bonanza, frankly," says Smith College sports economist Andrew Zimbalist, who predicts an economic impact of about $15 million. "It's kind of silly to suggest that it is." Festive fans of North Carolina, the University of Connecticut, and Villanova University - the other three teams that made the Final Four - will likely have a nice time in spruced-up Detroit. But it's a stretch, Zimbalist says, to figure they'll suddenly think of Detroit as a repeat destination - and even more...
...correctly identify organic cotton as problematic in your article on ecological intelligence but fail to suggest the clear alternative: industrial (nondrug) hemp. The crop, which can be used as an alternative to cotton as well as a base for fuels and plastics, can grow with rainwater and requires no pesticides.

As the narrator, Jerzy speaks to himself, speaks to his lover, speaks to himself again (this time sober), speaks to the girl in the yellow dress, and—it seems?...
...York trio, was previously afraid of overshadowing her bandmates—guitarist Nick Zinner and drummer Brian Chase—the massive shift that she directed for “It’s Blitz!” the band’s third album, would certainly not suggest so. On her orders, the band has dispensed with the frenetic guitar work that defined its first two LPs. Instead, Zinner, one of the most inventive guitarists of this decade, is reduced to playing mostly synthesizers in an attempt to create the dance music that O has demanded.Although it may seem...
