...wanted to see ... who she is and if she's still the same person that I fell in love with. And I want to see if she feels the same way for me." VILI FUALAAU, on why he wants to see Mary Kay LeTourneau, his sixth-grade teacher, who served seven years in prison for having a sexual relationship with him; it resulted in two children...
...Rick Letourneau lost so much money as a conventional dairy farmer that he had to sell all his cattle and burn furniture to heat his house. Today, though, he proudly shows off his three dozen lowing, impatient cows as they wait their turn to give it up to a mechanical milker. He nods toward the new mudroom and double-hung windows and pale yellow siding on his home and talks about building two more winter shelters for the livestock. And he plans to keep improving his 85-acre spread near North Troy, Vt., with financing from his local bank...
...about saving the planet; now it's about saving the family farm. To be certified organic, a dairy farmer can't treat his cows with antibiotics or hormones and he must feed them grain and hay grown without herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers. By meeting these tests, Letourneau gets $22 for every 100 lbs. of milk--about twice the price of conventional milk. That adds up to about $120,000 a year, which he supplements with $70,000 in contract work--spreading manure, baling hay--for nine other farms, allowing him to net $25,000 last year. While conventional-milk...
...Letourneau counts himself among the converts. He studies his cows as they munch on the lush green pasture, a native mix of clover, timothy, orchard and bromegrass. He's talking about cutting back on his contract work; he wants to concentrate on his own farm and not work so hard. With all the healthy young stock he has got, he expects to be milking about 70 cows (up from 36) by this time next year. "I want to be able to retire in nine years," he says. That would certainly take some of the load off his arthritic knees...
Molesters and pedophiles seem to target same-sex and opposite-sex children equally, the gender they choose depending mostly upon availability. And though the media may carry stories of the occasional Mary Kay LeTourneau--the Washington State teacher who famously bore two children by one of her underage students--overwhelmingly, abusers appear to be male. "We've been waiting for the so-called avalanche of women offenders to appear," says Smith. "We're still waiting." Some doctors disagree with Smith, believing the incidence of female abusers may be under-reported, since some boys may see sexual contact at the hands...
