Texas law defining marriage as the union between a man and a woman is no justification for the State Board of Education to tweak textbooks to conform to its own agenda. If the Texas Board of Education is so desperate to inculcate schoolchildren with notions of morality, then it would do well to lead by example. We suggest it begin by obeying...
...Emery's Featherfiber Corp., which licensed the feather-separating technique from ARS five years ago, it's continuing to tweak the production method at its headquarters in Nixa, Mo., while seeking investment for a full-scale factory. Emery has already demonstrated several applications for the fiber, and the math should work in his favor: a pound of raw feathers is worth about 2˘, but could fetch roughly $1 as processed fiber.

"I reckon it's all in the mannerisms," his Vince tells Ralph. "If we can learn half a dozen of them, we'll be home and hosed." Part of the problem is that Hogan's face spends most of the film in a tight scowl. And when he attempts...
