These days, in the final weeks of winter, it would be unfair to ask Whole Foods to sell predominantly local produce at my store, because so little can be grown in the Northeast right now. But even during verdant summertime, the vast majority of products sold at my Whole Foods (fresh or otherwise) aren't from the Northeast. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that the packages in which most Whole Foods groceries are sold say nothing about the food's origin. For instance, in the freezer section you can find Whole Foods' Whole Kitchen brand Breaded Eggplant...

...you’re not going to make it in tennis,’” Ko recalls. Homeschooling was hard, she admits.She managed to earn straight A’s but was angry with her parents for making her take classes.

...relationship has been a mixed blessing on Kominsky Crumb's artwork, raising its exposure while exposing it to unfair comparison. Even worse, she says, people assume that her husband does all the writing and drawing on their collaborative works. In many ways her artwork perfectly counterbalances Crumb's. Where he has one of the finest drafting skills of any living cartoonist her "tortured scratching" (her words) makes a mockery of proportion, weight and space. People hate her for it just as people hate Robert Crumb for his outlandish depictions of women and blacks. But just as Crumb's art comes...

...income earners already pays 66.6 percent of federal taxes. Liberals fire back that the Bush tax cuts—which gave the richest one percent of Americans an average rebate of $75,800, and middle-income families a mere $1,100—are grossly “unfair.” Each claim is no doubt true, but they appeal to two distinct, and incommensurable, conceptions of justice.
