The farmers I've talked to don't find it acceptable at all.

There are some issues farmers didn't like, but they were addressed satisfactorily enough to put this behind them. There's no question this settlement will help the bottom line of farmers, but I wish it was more.

I think people are hoping that Case is not going to collect on that second note.

The first step is going to be to look into the facts. There are a lot of assertions going around. If there's a basis for a lawsuit ? and it appears right now that there is ? that will likely lead to litigation.

Police officers, firefighters, EMTs - they are all out there every single day - literally just a phone call away for anyone who needs them.

If you write a good action sequence well in a novel, you're already writing it for film, because the only way to do it well is to use some of the same tricks. They're rhetorical, not visual, but it's the same move.
