Oddly enough, I found Joel Stein's essay on horsemeat to be refreshing [Feb. 19]. I love horses and have been hoping for the passage of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention bill. But why is it acceptable to eat cows, goats and chickens and not horses? There are no rational reasons, only sentimental ones. I'm not about to go out and buy horsemeat, nor will I end my support of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention bill.

It's retail Disneyland, free of menace, with a throng of brisk walkers. Shoppers here have money but not a lot of time. Howard is a security blanket for the striving class. People feel that he is not only sympathetic to their ends, he is prepared to support the means as well. Life for swing...
...when all Americans are suppose to do their civic duty by buying linens and dwelling upon the achievements of Millard Fillmore. Columbus Day is a day to remember 1492—to paraphrase Vonnegut—the year sea pirates discovered a new continent. Thanksgiving is the time to eat cranberry-covered turkey and be nice to your family—all your family. But Trout Day is different. Trout Day requires nothing of us and can be legitimized only as a day to get off because it’s a nice day to go fishing. For this reason...
