  With Monday's expected announcement by former Vermont House Speaker Gaye Symington that she will launch a bid to unseat Republican Gov.

• The Times on ethanol

  The Times has an editorial today on the environmental harms and public policy issues of ethanol fuel. It contains facts that I didn't know, including that ethanol is not consuming 25% of our corn production. If you were wondering about the high prices, both here and in Mexico, look no [...]
