...surge in bluefin-tuna-fishing over the past decade has been driven by the proliferation of sushi restaurants across the world. The bluefin industry, once the province of rustic local fishing fleets in the Mediterranean, was last year worth about $1.6 billion. Today tuna fleets use high-tech spotter planes buzzing over the Med during the summertime tuna-spawning season in search of shoals that have escaped the trappers. The industry's major players are massive multinational corporations like Mitsubishi, the world's biggest tuna trader - Japan imports the bulk of bluefin tuna caught in the Med. Some...

(The roof opens too, apparently at voice command.) The biggest leap of make-believe is that the high school experience is wunnnnnderful - though this view is no less reductive than the one, in so many comedies and horror movies, that says high school is a Hades of sadistic cliques in constant...
