...answer the question posed by your cover headline [Jan. 30], yes, I would buy a new car from that man, and I have. Thank you, Bill Ford, for your vision and the capable leadership of your company. They will affect the industry for generations to come. And thanks for my 2006 Mustang GT. It looks great in the garage next to the Taurus and the F-150 Ford truck. BILL HUGHES Lynn Haven...

Given that it's crowded with surfers and home to the Ford Ironman Triathlon World Championship, it's safe to assume that there are lots of hungry folk in the town of Kailua-Kona, on the island of Hawaii. But you don't have to swim across 3.8 km of ocean, cycle for another 180 km and then run a marathon-like the triathletes do-in order to work up an appetite. Merely spending a day on the beach or doing a spot of fishing will suffice. And when the hunger pangs strike, there are lots of friendly eateries...
