Scenic Designer Dennis Mae concurs, “I’ve used rubber mulch before to express a peasant’s connection to the land—and in this play, it enables us to render business like plowing and digging literally. We needed 150 cubic feet—about eighty 20-pound bags—to cover the entire floor to a depth of 2-3 inches, but since this is an outdoor product, it doesn’t require much maintenance. After each performance, we use push-brooms to smooth it out for that nice ‘full’ look—and you can hose it down or spray it with disinfectants. For a short run like this, though, there’s few of the sanitizing problems you’d get with an organic compound like actual soil.”

Lake Forest College President Steve Schutt was quoted in a Newsweek article titled “Myth Of Decline: U.S. Is Stronger and Faster Than Anywhere Else.”
Increasingly, foreigners don’t just buy the stuff Americans make. They buy only-in-America experiences—like higher education. Since 1972 the number of foreign students has risen every year, with the exception of the three years after 9/11. A record 690,923 foreign students enrolled in the 2009–10 academic year, according to the Institute of International Education. “In the countries that are thriving, there’s increasing interest from families who want access to the American higher-education system and are in a position to pay for it,” said Stephen Schutt, president of Lake Forest College, a small liberal-arts college near Chicago (tuition: $38,320). Schutt spent his 2011 spring break in China, visiting secondary schools. Of the 410 students who matriculated in the fall of 2011, 63 (or 15 percent) hailed from 33 countries. Every tuition dollar is an export.
