Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not
so great) words of knowledge:

The "boiling" method works. Put the corn in cold water. Bring to a
boil and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

TIP: To insure you will have sweet tasting corn, dissolve 1 packet of
Sweet and Low for each ear of corn. Use 3/4 packet per ear if the ears
are small.

Alternate method. Remove silk, but leave the husk intact. Soak in
water for about 1 hour. Spread soft butter (or margarine ) over the
ears (perhaps sprinkle some garlic powder also ) and pull the husks back
up over the ears. Put on the grill for 15 - 20 minutes over medium
heat. If not done, leave on for another 1 or 2 minutes.
