...sorry to say that the picture of tuna on the cover looks seriously delicious, even though the article is warning about the excessive consumption of the fish. I had to fight the urge to run to a nearby restaurant every time I looked at the cover. I think it is a little paradoxical to use such a luscious photo when the article is warning consumers about eating tuna. Jiwon Kwak, Seoul...
...still too dependent on investment and government spending instead of private consumption. Even though consumer spending is increasing, it is not growing quickly enough. Private consumption's role in the economy has actually been declining, to a mere 35% of GDP in 2008 from 46% in 2000. Economists say policymakers need to speed up the development of a better social safety network, encourage small-scale finance and liberalize service industries dominated by big state firms to further raise incomes and encourage Chinese to spend more and save less...

But it is surprising that Muslims in Dearborn should be fearful. After all, it's hard to imagine an American town where Muslims could feel less threatened: Dearborn (pop. 100,000) has 10 mosques in the area, more than any other city of comparable size. Muslims have had a presence in the Detroit area since the 1920s, when Henry Ford brought over thousands of workers from the Middle East...
