Whale meat resembles venison with its heavily oxygenated, dark red color that suggests lean, high-protein muscle. In Japan, it can be found in some supermarkets for about $33 a pound. Whale is high in the fatty acids DHA and EPA and low in cholesterol. But not many Japanese eat the controversial seafood. And so, the Japan Fisheries Association is encouraging a whale consumption program and backing a Tokyo-based firm Geishoku Labo and the "Asian Lunch" trucks it sends to Tokyo's business districts. The truck serves whale boxed lunches on weekdays and, for the Thursday special, a special...
...Burton film that is closest visually to Sweeney Todd is Sleepy Hollow, the 1999 fable about innocence trapped inside malevolence. The desaturated color scheme of that film, set in 18th century New York City, is here applied to the streets of London a few decades later. But whereas Burton bent an old legend to comic-horror ends, this time he's not kidding. The shadows aren't faux-ominous, they are expressions of the city's pestilence of selfishness and cruelty, where the motives of virtually everyone - both lowlife and high-born - are venal and verminous...

Every step Americans take toward common ground will bring all those who sell hopelessness a step closer to a richly deserved obscurity. Margaret E. Young, WEATHERFORD, TEXAS...
...person of color, and I hope to see the day when a presidential candidate is accepted for what he can do to improve our country, not for the color of his skin. Obama is brilliant, and it is a shame that he should be frowned upon by the African-American community for not being "black enough." What does that mean? Don't African Americans understand that comments like this perpetuate stereotypes? Let's get over ourselves and let the right person for the job lead this country in the right direction.
