...cutting and assorted acts of bloody roughhouse. It also features three Celts bounding around the vast stage of the Olivier Theater in nothing but their birthday suits and some anachronistic Rod Stewart haircuts. Frontal nudity in the National Theater is like a flasher in a cathedral. Worse follows: the slaughter of two of the Celts by a squad of Roman invaders and the sodomizing of a third. This sight encouraged the leader of the Greater London Council, Sir Horace Cutler, to send down telegraphic thunderbolts about the renewal of the National's subsidy.

...more than a hundred years. He won but six states, and they were little ones. Working class Americans deserted him, Catholics, Jews and liberals too. And then there was George McGovern, a Senator for two decades and once a presidential candidate who stood firmly opposed to the slaughter of Vietnam, who put forward a much-ridiculed plan to guarantee a small income for all Americans.

Ranchers, also suffering from the drought and fearing a hike in the price of their prime feedstuff, sent more of their cattle to slaughter earlier in the summer in order to save on feeding them. Initially, this depressed beef prices, but the long-term effect will be to deplete the herds, reduce supply and make meat more expensive later. The production of soybeans, another animal fodder, is off 19% this year, although prices paid...
