...workers could take their earned vacation, their time away from work might give the economy a kick. Louis Sivo Santa Clara, California, U.S. A City on the Seas Re "A whale of a boat" [June 19]: not only do behemoth cruise ships such as Freedom of the Seas clog ports and squeeze in huge numbers of passengers, they also dump city-size volumes of sewage and bilgewater - some of it treated, but much of it not. Every day these vessels foul harbors and coastal waters with millions of gallons of filthy water and pollute the air with diesel fumes. Cruise...
...Whale of a Boat" [June 19]: Not only do behemoth cruise ships, such as Freedom of the Seas, clog ports and squeeze in huge numbers of passengers, they also dump city-size volumes of sewage and bilge water--some of it treated, but much of it not.

It was the same today, when a flying wedge of security guards hustled Tom Hanks into the Da Vinci Code press conference past a couple hundred photographers. This is catnip to the Festival administration, which gets free worldwide publicity...
...author. "I understand that not everybody likes my characters," she admits affably. "It gets mentioned to me. I just want to be honest about the way people are." It's this daring that separates Sittenfeld's work from the stacks of Day Glo--colored chick-lit novels that clog the aisles of Waldenbooks. Here's another example: she never tells the reader whether Hannah is beautiful. "When a female character feels insecure, and then all the other characters are saying, 'But you're so awesome, you're so funny, you're the best!' you almost know that it's this...
