...milk? No? No biggie--just zip to your local supermarket and pick up a carton. Got raw milk? Now that's trickier. Carol Peterson, an IT manager at Xerox, drives almost two hours each month to her favorite farm in upstate New York for her unpasteurized supply. Susan Mueller, a mother of two in Ithaca, N.Y., bought shares in a dairy farm so she could pick up her raw milk and yogurt at a drop-off point closer to home. And they consider themselves lucky. In Manhattan some raw-milk drinkers hire a mule to bring the white stuff...

Packing up before professors finish speaking is the norm in many of Harvard’s large lecture halls. Of course, a few of these early departures face a marathon dash to Vanserg and have earned the right to leave. Most...
...lousy cops, the decent pols and the ones on the take, the vicious criminals and the sympathetic ones, and none of them (nor the whites) are wholly, simply good or evil. Season 5 explores how city hall and the media ignore murders of young black men--"wrong ZIP code," deadpans a (black) reporter--but it also shows how a corrupt black state senator shamelessly plays the race card to the very constituents he fleeced. On The Wire, black and white is never black-and-white...
