Former model Anna Nicole Smith is not the only overweight bodacious babe out there [TELEVISION, July 22]. Writer Joel Stein said, "Despite the fact that she weighs more than 200 lbs., Smith is still beautiful and sexy enough to make men do" what she wants. I too weigh more than 200 lbs. and, like Smith, I can make men do pretty much what I want. There are many women like us walking around. It's all about what a woman exudes, not what her scale says she weighs. Though stereotypes about fat women are alive and well...
...Lorna" launched Meyer into a second, artistically abundant mid-'60s phase: black-and-white backwoods melodramas.

Many children, raised on hit films like Babe and Chicken Run, recoil from eating their movie heroes and switch to what the meat defeaters like to call a "nonviolent diet." Vegetarianism resolves a conscientious person's inner turf war by providing an edible complex of good-deed-doing: to go veggie is to be more humane. Give up meat, and save lives...
...other reason for beef eating is, hold on, ethical--a matter of animal rights. The familiar argument for vegetarianism, articulated by Tom Regan, a philosophical founder of the modern animal-rights movement, is that it would save Babe the pig and Chicken Run's Ginger from execution. But what about Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse? asks Steven Davis, professor of animal science at Oregon State University, pointing to the number of field animals inadvertently killed during crop production and harvest. One study showed that simply mowing an alfalfa field caused a 50% reduction in the gray-tailed vole population. Mortality...
