	Roger L. Simon: Bitter Rice
		Rice was not the problem, it was who nominated her.
		I've heard or read that Bayh's vote against Rice was the result of Hillary's recent public appearances and pronouncements...in other words, it had less to do with a Bush appointment than it did with positioning himself for future success; representing the "Democratic wing" of the party and all that rot.
		I tend to agree with Jim that Rice is not an attractive candidate, at least in 2008.

	Bitter Rice (1949) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Bitter Rice (Riso Amaro, 1949) is an Italian movie, written and directed by Giuseppe De Santis.
		Though intended as a scathing indictment of harsh conditions endured by women laboring in Italy's rice fields, the film's enormous popularity was largely attributed to the erotic appeal of young Silvana Mangano.
		Ironically, Marxist writer and director Giuseppe De Santis, one of the founders of Italy's post-World War II neorealist movement, virtually brought the genre to an end with Bitter Rice by demonstrating that sex was a far greater draw than social criticism.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Features \| The pin-up of protest
		It's the shot of Mangano, aged 18 or 19, standing in the flooded rice fields of the Po valley, her stockings kept aloft by her rich thighs, her shorts wet and tight, and her expressive breasts thrust towards the camera, full of socialist protest.
		The movie was called Bitter Rice, and when it opened in 1949 there was never any doubt that this astute study of working life in the rice fields would find an international audience.
		Bitter Rice is being screened once again in the Italian film festival, and it's still an artful and entertaining concoction of realism and sex, with Mangano and the young Vittorio Gassman extremely appealing as the lovers.

		At Wednesday's hearing, after Democrats pressed her on whether the reasons for going to war were misleading, Rice acknowledged that "there were some bad decisions" by the administration on Iraq.
		Rice said, however, that Saddam Hussein was a dictator who refused to account for his country's weapons of mass destruction and someone who had to be removed to change the nature of the terror threat in the Middle East.
		He called Rice, who is currently President Bush's national security advisor, "a dear friend" and said she would bring "gifted leadership" to the department.

		Condoleezza Rice won easy confirmation Wednesday to be President Bush's new secretary of state, despite strong dissent from a small group of Democrats who said she shares blame for mistakes and war deaths in Iraq.
		Rice had enough votes to win confirmation, as even her Democratic critics acknowledge, McCain said.
		Since Rice is qualified for the job, he said, "I can only conclude that we are doing this for no other reason than because of lingering bitterness over the outcome of the election."

	Bitter Rice : Movie Description, Show times & Film Critics - Quebec - CinemaQuebec.com
		One of Italian neorealism's biggest box-office successes, the racy Bitter Rice injected a major dose of eroticism into the movement's socially-committed concerns, and made an international pin-up of its voluptuous young star Silvana Mangano, prototype of the Italian cinema sexpot.
		Mangano, provocatively clad in the tightest of sweaters and the skimpiest of short-shorts, plays farm worker Silvana, labouring up to her knees in mud while her head is in the clouds, dreaming of American-style glamour.
		Full of flamboyant camerawork and other stylistic extravagances — including a famous boogie-woogie dance between Mangano and Gassman in a train station — Bitter Rice was described by one critic as a "neorealist colossal" for its large budget and elaborate production schedule.

		But it is sad that successive governments in our nation saw the massive importation of rice and other basic commodities as more than a national effort aimed at increased agricultural production in Liberia.
		The orgy of destruction in 1979 rice riots ($40 million private property damage, 40 demonstrators dead, 500 wounded, etc.) which occurred when the Minister of Agriculture, Florence Chenoweth decided to increase the subsidized price of rice from $22 for a 100 pound bag to $26 dollars speaks to our collective vulnerability.
		For the most part, Liberia not only used to produce rice and other agricultural products sufficient for local consumption and export, but Liberia also used to produce its own cloth such as the “kpodor” or country gown.

		Bitter Rice (Lux Film] is an Italian-made melodrama with many points of resemblance to a U.S. thriller.
		It is lifted out of the ordinary by 1) its star, a sexy, sultry young woman named Silvana Mangano, and 2) its subject, the rice harvest of northern Italy.
		Along the way is a good deal of earthy violence: Silvana gets birched on a roadside ; Doris is nearly mobbed as a scab by her fellow workers; Gassmann is impaled on a meat hook during a fight in a butcher shop.

		Faithless or gallant women, ruthless hustlers or average Joes, their misplaced loyalties in endless permutations, combine on the screen, looking for a shot at the "big time".
		Bitter Rice is such a tale set in a farming community where hundreds of women make a yearly migration to plant rice in flooded fields bordered by rows of straight poplars.
		The director, Giusepe De Santis, forges a hybrid, which, although rich in detail, does not resonate as a "big score gone sour" picture nor as a documentary.

	Bread or Rice? - Bodybuilding.com Forums
		White rice is basically stripped of the natural grain and has undergone much processing, typical of many of today's foods.
		Wholemeal bread, on the other hand, is made with whole grains and the fibers intact, thus lowering that rate at which the body can break it down into constituent glucose molecules.
		Even though its GI is on the higher side, it is still lower than that of white rice, potatoes, and white bread.

		After floods, typhoons and the wettest summer in 50 years, Japan measured her rice crop last week and found it 2,000,000 tons short.
		Japan, which even in good years must import rice (mainly from Siam), will be able to buy only about 1,000,000 tons, since prices are so high ($213 a ton) and most rice-surplus countries are lagging behind their prewar production.
		During the occupation, many Japanese tried the newfangled idea of eating bread for breakfast instead of rice, but are now returning to rice, claiming that bread did not fill them.
