Item one runs, "The arts and the humanities belong to all the people of the United States." The sentiment is thick here, but the content is unlikely. What is intended by "belong?"

Noch's features a variety of subs and pasta in addition to pizza, but the real attraction is the square-cut, thick-doughed Sicilian-style slices. According to Manager Adam DiCenso, Sicilian slices of pepperoni have been the most popular item for years, but the newer tomato basil topping (my personal choice) is also doing well. Plain pizza is $1.50, Sicilian...
