...release of Richard Bach's "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" marked a true publishing phenomenon; 32 million copies have been sold in 39 languages. Now Bach is back, working on an unlikely new series of books called "The Ferret Chronicles," starring a band of "intelligent, pacifist ferrets who live and work in a world alongside of their human counterparts." The first two installments, "Rescue Ferrets at Sea" and "Air Ferrets Aloft" will be published on June 25. Will his readers find skunks' furry first cousins as appealing as seagulls? Stay tuned...

I'm not a pacifist, but I am opposed to those who would proclaim that there is something glorious or heroic about going into battle. If war was necessary in Afghanistan, so be it; but I urge everyone who says it was to look closely at the man who is being brutalized in these photos and remember that when violence is institutionalized, this kind of madness will erupt sooner or later.
