A girl in jeans and a bustier played a harp, almost inaudible over the sounds of the crowd, beside a table selling geodes and specimens of quartz. Briggs had a large shopping bag into which he placed his purchases: carrots, kohlrabi, baby beets bought from a woman in a Humane Society T-shirt, and Flathead Lake cherries from an old man in an “Official Party Shirt” from Carlos and Charlie’s in Cozumel. A woman with the forearms of a plumber spotted Briggs and stepped from behind a meager display of home-grown lavender to block his path. She gazed at him fixedly and, as he grew uncomfortable, asked, “Is anything coming to you?”
Briggs shook his head tentatively. The woman let out a vehement laugh with a faint whistle in it. A mirthless grin spread ear to ear. “Is it possible,” she asked, “that you don’t remember me at all? Two a.

Far from a “terror group
pure and simple” as repeatedly labeled by US
government leaders, Hezbollah is a well-entrenched
politico-military movement participating in the
national life of Lebanon while, simultaneously,
acting as a welfare arm of the Lebanese system by
providing basic welfare services to its largely
underclass mass constituency. Clearly,
Hezbollah is not a foreign army, like the
Palestinian Liberation Organization, that would be
forced to flee the country. Rather, it is a
home-grown phenomenon deeply immersed in the
fabric of Lebanese society and its collective
identity. As a result, both the US and
Israeli policy of destroying Hezbollah is doomed
to failure, and no matter how severely it is
pounded by massive bombs, it will survive and its
phoenix will rise from the ashes of Lebanon. At the same time, that is not to say that
Hezbollah is beyond critical reproach. For one
thing, by targeting civilians in Israel, Hezbollah
has put itself on the same (im)moral equation as
the state of Israel presently terrorizing the
entire Lebanese nation. But, a more prudent
strategy by Hezbollah may be to unilaterally
declare a ceasefire and avoid any more rocket
attacks on northern Israel, focusing on the
Israeli ground forces making incursions into
Lebanon.

I am pleased Andrew Ryan (Only In Canada? — Globe Television, July 22) saw fit to watch and be interested in our (so far) brief series. He questions whether the loyalty Canadians feel for Coronation Street could ever be duplicated in a home-grown fashion. The full text of this article has 159 words.

A good turnout of shearling rams ready for work sold well, with an entry from Chiselborough breeders E B Holloway & Sons’ flock in Somerset leading the section at £285. He was bought by new breed association member J Morgan of Templecombe, Somerset. The Devon-based flock of W D Burrough & Sons has done a great job in promoting the breed through its victories in the showring. Messrs Burrough sold two rams at £250 apiece.

Blood pressure screenings. Fresh home-grown vegetables delivered to customers’ homes. Some customers began expecting cukes with their Coumadin, and so Davis adds a vegetable when he can. In spring he puts out free tomato plants at the Fifth Avenue, New Brighton, pharmacy. Such personal touches are one of many reasons Brighton Pharmacy was.
