...this any way to tell a story so full of suffering? Well, maybe it is. For one thing, the Freedom Center is in many respects still the thing it professes not to be, a museum of slavery.

Alaska fishermen, who catch only wild salmon at sea (fish farms are prohibited in the state), are being hammered by farm-raised salmon from Chile and Canada. "In 1988 I got $1 a pound for pink salmon. Now I get 7¢," says Scott McAllister, steering his boat past Alaska's Glacier Bay. He believes labels will help.
