WEB BOHEMIAN (Monday, March 22, 2010)
(1)- HE'S BACK -- The milkman is back, and in an unlikely place. Frank Acosta and Matt Marone are two guys behind Manhattan Milk, a company offering weekly delivery in the Big Apple.

(2)- JOKER VS. GREEN GOBLIN -- Be-all-end-all absolutely correct answers on which supervillains would win in a fight. Lex Luthor has bankrolled the competition. Which of the 8 will come out on top? Joker vs The Green Goblin:

(3) FRENEMIES -- Despite their lengthy and bruising battle two years ago for their party's presidential nomination, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have since forged a strong partnership as president and secretary of state.

(4)- TOO DEVOTED – Devotees in Miami of a man claiming to practice a traditional African religion said they had to ingest the mucus of a Giant African Snail that sickened them. Federal and state prosecutors are investigating.

(5)- DARWIN CACHET -- Survival of the fittest. Eat or be eaten. For Americans dwelling in the uneasily interesting times of the early twenty-first century, such catchphrases–and the sensibility they embody–strike familiar chords.

(6)- THE ARCTIC -- The horizon where earth and sky meet is sometimes invisible. If the wind picks up and lifts the dry snow into the air, you cannot tell where one stops and the other begins.

(7)- MARIO -- In 1964, with the Free Speech Movement roiling the University of California, Berkeley, 21-year-old Mario Savio felt, with some pride of ownership, that "this little place had become...one of the central places on the planet."

(8)- DARFUR POSTURING -- A new book reveals how celebrities’ and human rights activists’ simple-minded moral posturing on Darfur made the conflict even worse.

(9)- MUSIC THOUGHTS -- It's one of the great ironies of the classical concert experience – the most explosive, exhilarating music is often greeted by total silence. Let our applause be heard, says Alex Ross.
