Ullrich: From cellphones to Bolivian cat species, there's more to be learned (opens the original)
Read excerpt
RURAL AMERICA â With the exception of a recent Bears-Vikings football game, I have pretty well avoided any television other than PBS. At the end of the day, one has to believe that the onslaught of political advertising grates on everyone, putting most of America in a foul mood about the upcoming election.
