"The agricultural conglomerates that have gobbled up Oelwein and similar farm towns may feed the world, but they starve the folks who work for them, breeding a craving for synthetic stimulants that conveniently sap the appetite while enlarging the body's capacity for toil." -- Walter Kirn, review of METHLAND: THE DEATH AND LIFE OF AN AMERICAN SMALL TOWN by Nick Reding (in the New York TIimes Book Review, 7/5/09, p. 4).
where are we going? why are we in this hand-basket? -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti." (Go your own way and let people talk.) -- Karl, paraphrasing Dante. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
