...difference of opinion.? It will probably be the first of many with the legislature. Some Arnold will have to make compromises on, but sometimes he?ll have to draw the line. He is the Governor after all, and he can use the status of his office and his line item veto to get things done his way. The results of the recall help him too: 44% of Californians voted against the recall, but Arnold won 49% of the vote - a solid mandate. Republicans may not trust him fully because he?s a moderate and most GOP legislators are conservative...

...your item on the efforts of some countries to protect the trade names of regional foods [NOTEBOOK, Aug. 11]: The issue is not protectionism but food quality and the years of experience that produce masterpieces like Parma ham and Parmesan cheese. I cannot expect to find an appreciation of food culture in a country whose biggest contribution to cuisine is the Big Mac, but Americans should understand why our food is so region-specific. Parmesan cheese owes its unique taste to conditions found only around Parma, Italy, and to the grass that is eaten by local cows. Americans will never...
