...serious in that outfit,” my friend said. At Eleganza tryouts (note: its a pun on elegant), I couldn’t really argue with those sentiments. I was wearing a floral print bathing suit, a different floral print Hawaiian shirt, a jacket fit for the Swiss army (and only the Swiss army) and knee-length black socks. The look on her face was telling me that I needed to step off. I was standing in line between three women on my right and four women on my left, all dressed to the nines. In its very name...
...flash point in the struggle over globalization, and the drama is being played out everywhere, from supermarkets to college cafeterias. A decade-long supply glut has impoverished some 25 million small farmers in 50 countries.

I used to like ?Treehouse,? but today I can?t figure out why. Perhaps because I liked the book as a boy. As for my kids, Caroline didn?t quite get it, while Mary Grace and Jack seemed to feel it was a pleasant walk with Mommy and Daddy, but hardly a patch on ?The Magic Carpets of Alladin,? which they adjudged the equal of ?Dumbo.? That?s high acclaim...
