Having met Ted, Jan and their sons--and having spent the night in their barn--I trust they don't use chemicals. But the Blomgrens don't grow fruit for the CSA. They buy it from other local growers, and most of them use sprays because of the humidity. Ted's hens were free-range--they strutted around eating the grass behind his house. But pastured chickens still require some grain feed, and the grain Ted bought was mostly conventionally grown, industrially processed corn...
When asked years ago whether she preferred butter or margarine, Gussow famously remarked, "I trust cows more than chemists." For my part, I do not. I will still go to Whole Foods to buy the mass-produced Organic Food Bars I eat for breakfast when I don't have time for eggs.

Hamas leaders think Fatah officials are too close to the Americans and Israelis. They openly voice suspicions that Mohammed Dahlan, the head of Preventative Security, is working with the U.S. and Israel to topple the Hamas government. Meanwhile, Fatah charges Hamas with taking money and direction from Iran and Syria (where Hamas leader-in-exile Khaled Mashal is based). The distrust is endemic. Neither Fatah nor Hamas trusts Israel. Israel trusts neither...
