...covered Alaska's commercial fisheries for print and broadcast media for nearly a decade, I am troubled by your vivid portrayal of some of the favorite fish "entrees" that could soon disappear. In Alaska we have more salmon than we know what to do with. Annual statewide salmon catches usually hover at around 200 million fish. To make matters worse, you urge consumers to "help out" by eating just farm-raised salmon! Sending that message to readers serves only to cripple further an industry that has steadily been losing market share for its wild, free-roaming salmon to those that...
...involved two male writers of a male-oriented genre--say the shoot-'em, blow-'em-up, stab-'em-in-the-belly genre (and we all know how classy these books are)--you probably would have treated it seriously. As a novelist who has more than 25 million books in print in various genres, including historical romance, suspense, fantasy and science fiction, I feel qualified to state that those of us who write books for a living take the theft of our material very seriously.

"What a piece of work he was!" Yardley writes, and then convincingly sets forth the evidence...
Sidey's story brought back a flood of pleasant memories. I was born in 1922 in Hugh's hometown of Greenfield, Iowa, and grew up there. I learned a lot about printing and photography from his father Kenneth. Many an hour I spent with Ken, learning how to develop and print my own film (in his darkroom) and hearing the rumble of that press in the background. JACK FOSTER Prescott, Ariz...
...seductively savory multicultural stew is shaping up as the classical-music event of the summer. The 72-minute work was telecast worldwide July 1 from the handover ceremonies in Hong Kong, and the first recording, conducted by Tan and featuring Yo-Yo Ma as cello soloist, was rushed into print by Sony the following week, debuting in the No. 5 slot on the Billboard classical chart...
