Organic farming used to be about saving the planet; now it's about saving the family farm. To be certified organic, a dairy farmer can't treat his cows with antibiotics or hormones and he must feed them grain and hay grown without herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers. By meeting these tests, Letourneau gets $22 for every 100 lbs. of milk--about twice the price of conventional milk. That adds up to about $120,000 a year, which he supplements with $70,000 in contract work--spreading manure, baling hay--for nine other farms, allowing...
Such allegations are easy to make and hard to refute. But as they circulate around Iraq, they can create a self-fulfilling prophecy: if Iraqis believe that Americans will always treat them as if they are armed and dangerous, they may resentfully refuse to cooperate with the occupying forces--who will then treat them as if they are armed and dangerous. Already the attacks on Americans mean that some of the lessons of effective peacekeeping--painfully learned during a decade of small wars in Somalia, Bosnia and Kosovo--cannot be applied. Peacekeepers work best when they move in small groups...
Valedictions can range from the wrenchingly personal ("Please remember me not only for what I did or said but how I made you feel.") to the painfully platitudinal ("Get a good education."

...often you hear Supreme Court Justices treat their brethren with such scorn, or trash a recent decision as being dead wrong--or see lawyers weep as a ruling is read. But Thursday was an emotional day inside and outside the court, as preachers prayed and scholars marveled and gay-rights activists struggled to find the right words, since they were more used to slamming the court than saluting...
...cancer. Should you take it? That's the question doctors and patients have been wrestling with since the results of a National Cancer Institute--sponsored trial were published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine. Compared with a placebo, Merck's finasteride--a drug currently marketed to treat baldness and benign prostate enlargement--appeared to reduce prostate cancer incidence 25%. But in the seven-year study, involving more than 9,000 men ages 55 and older, the finasteride group also had a slightly higher rate of aggressive, "high grade" tumors, which are harder to treat. Complicating matters, finasteride...
