The photo albums his family keeps show him in various all-American settings: enjoying a crab dinner, walking on a California beach and sitting on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. In one picture, apparently taken at a weekend fair, he is standing in front of a military helicopter, holding up a tiny U.S. flag...
...same activists who helped introduce the world to dolphin-safe tuna are about to take consumers on a similarly gruesome guilt trip. In an effort to abolish Canada's government-sanctioned seal hunts, in which pups as young as 12 days are fair game to get clubbed to death, the Humane Society of the United States and other animal-rights groups will launch a campaign this week to pressure Americans to boycott all seafood from our neighbor to the north.

"We haven't invented anything new," explains Chanin about pieces that retail from $400 to $15,000. "We're just taking old techniques and using them in new ways...
...magazine went so far as to list an address readers could use to alert compliance officers whenever retail sonographers set up shop in their community. Since then, a few states, including California and Illinois, have proposed legislation banning such ultrasounds. In the meantime, says Copel, "physicians can do a fair amount to blunt the impact of these places." If provided with a blank videotape beforehand, his staff will happily pop it into the VCR and record the sonogram for posterity. Some of his colleagues will do the same with DVDs.
