Fish, specifically such cold-water species as cod, salmon, sardines and mackerel, contain certain polyunsaturated oils that are found in no other foods and have profound effects on body chemistry.

Both effects could help explain the low rate of heart disease in Eskimos...

In his toast, the President mentioned the close friendships of Churchill and Roosevelt, of Harold Macmillan and John Kennedy, then said, "I'd like to add two more names to that list: Thatcher and Reagan." Thatcher broke up Reagan with several quips, including her lament that, despite sharing the same goals, she could not imitate...
Then too there is a question of aesthetics: the American taste may be broadening, but many people still recoil from an unattractive name. So a vocabulary of euphemisms for Cinderella trash fish surfaces. Dogfish becomes grayfish or salmon shark. For opakapaka, try Hawaiian pink snapper. Blowfish are sold as sea robin or sea squab. The huge, shapeless monkfish fetches a , higher price under its French name, lotte...
