...spring, and politicians' thoughts turn to the elections five months away. Rent control has been a big part of every city election since its adoption in 1970, and a group a city landlords may have begun efforts in the last two weeks to make sure that this political season will be no exception...
...April 6, 1969, Easter Sunday, two canoes set out on the Russian River, a few miles east of Guerneyville in Northern California. The river was running very high and very fast. The group travelled about a mile without incident until, while rounding a turn in the stream, both canoes struck a tree that had been mostly obscured by the flood.

My prediction is that when there is another coincidence of visible large scale famine in less developed societies and sudden food supply threats in developed ones, the issue of food will again seem...
