Animal rights activists find employees of a major California operation forcing "downer" cows into the slaughterhouse, sometimes using a forklift to transport cows too sick to walk. 143 million pounds of meat are recalled, much of which had been sold to school lunch programs.

POPSIt's Not Easy Being Ultra-Rich The poor whine about having no home at all, or maybe a two-bedroom apartment for a family of six. They should just think for one moment that it's damn expensive to be rich. Consider the costs of maintaining up to five different homes, some of them up to 45,000 square feet in size, most with tennis courts and wine cellars requiring constant supervision. For example, if the boss is in Palm Beach and wants to send his jet to New York to pick up a Chateau LaTour from his South Hampton cellar, the butler makes it happen . A mean-spirited critic might grumble that the rich should simply find a new circle of friends. But if you were in the $100-million-in-assets set, you could hardly consort with the class of people for whom a pittance like $10,000 might be a transformative sum, possibly allowing granny to get her insulin. People of that class could not be trusted not to pocket the silverware in your powder room. L.q.

POPSRobert Jordan's illness Fans of the Wheel of Time series have known about this for a while, but this is the first mention I've seen in the major media. Most of me feels a great deal of sympathy for someone stricken by such a horrible disease, but part of me also wants to say, "Don't you wish you hadn't dragged this series out now, Bob?"
