...struck me as closed-minded cheerleading from people living in a fantasy world. The B-2 bomber was called a dream machine that takes off "over soybean fields" and lands back near our "heartland homes." Such writing trivializes war, making it seem like just a job, and a pleasant one at that. Remember, war is hell. JOHN SLEVIN Bell Gardens, Calif...

The rink is part of Mayor Marcelo Ebrard's campaign to make this polluted mountain capital a more pleasant environment. Last spring he shipped in tons of sand to create four urban beaches, which were also a hit with residents. In addition, Ebrard has built miles of cycle paths, where he has posed for photographs atop his mountain bike on sunny Sundays...
