Hayes expects that one-third to one-half will be by year's end. General Foods has already sodium-labeled its Shake 'n Bake, Post cereals and Birds Eye frozen vegetables; General Mills has tagged 200 products from Bisquick to Hamburger Helper. Mighty Campbell's, king of soups, has just introduced a new line of low-sodium flavors nationally. Among the green-and-yellow-bannered cans are variations on traditional chicken noodle, split...

Images take root in the here and now: Rabbit's merchandise ("Like a little sea of melting candy his cars bake in the sun"); a swimming pool ("lit from underneath at night as if it has swallowed the moon"); a moment in January ("It is cold, a day that might bring snow, a day that feels hollow").
