It would be appropriate to feature this problem on a monthly basis. I have noticed a disturbing trend in the U.S.: clothing is being resized, and everything is being made bigger.

The small crowds underlined the problem of slow ticket sales, which will hurt the country's ability to defray the $7.5 billion it laid out for the Games...

Krnac went...
...area and I went to a local pub for some food. On the way out, we handed some videos to a group of young people drinking on the patio. I assumed we’d just wasted a couple of videos, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to try. A few days later, I ran into the same people at a coffee shop on the other side of town. They had passed the videos out to their friends and organized a viewing party for their neighbors. They hadn’t bothered to tell the campaign that...
