I can't help feeling that this is one of the most important stories of the day. Giant corporations may replace political envoys as the arbiters of international diplomacy; they have the leverage to make change happen. Or do they? Stay tuned. . .

Good Bye, P&C
Tops has made a deal to buy every one of upstate's P&Cs. It could be worse. I prefer Price Chopper, but they would have closed 'em all for six months to revise them. Tops seems more likely to keep them open while fixing them up and modernizing them. I hope they teach the employees how to move people through a line.

Nationwide, 5.2 percent of teachers are absent on any given day, a rate three times as high as that of professionals outside teaching and more than one and a half times as high as that of teachers in Britain. Teachers in America are most likely to be absent on Fridays, followed by Mondays.
