...antireform liberals Joe Klein disparages in "Village Idiots" [Jan. 11]. While the value of the health care reform bill is debatable--30 million people may get coverage that may or may not be worthwhile--I can't understand why anyone would not be outraged that the government is forcing them to buy private insurance from an industry that routinely pays CEOs seven figures while denying sick, dying people coverage. How is that not outrageous...
Warner Bros., which released Edge of Darkness, surely hoped the Gibson movie would do the business of the studio's first 2010 hit, The Book of Eli, the postdoomsday Western starring Denzel Washington, 55. In its third week, Eli has earned nearly $75 million. Instead, Edge looks to approximate the mediocre gross of last year's State of Play, also based on a six-part BBC political thriller, and also starring an Oscar winner (Russell Crowe) in need of a hit.

...taxing equitably the corporate behemoths that exploit Vermont's "commons," which includes everything from the state's groundwater, surface water, wildlife and forests, to the public spectrum of the airwaves. According to the UVM study, for example, Coca-Cola, Nestle and Perrier and other refreshment manufacturers avoid $671 million in taxes for the environmental damage incurred by their siphoning of state groundwater...
Nevertheless, cacao exports were up over 400% in the past decade, and production this year will be around 35,000 metric tons, putting Peru close to the top 10 biggest producers. The U.S. program invested more than $110 million in alternative development plans in Peru in the past decade. The program involves nearly half of the 150,000 acres (60,703 hectares) of cacao planted in the country. The goal is to expand not only in San Martin but throughout the country's tropics. About 60% of Peru's territory is jungle...
