...aren't antiglobalists. We know that properly balanced trade rules can assist nations in achieving the economic growth necessary to afford environmental progress. But that balance is being forsaken by the Clinton Administration and the World Trade Organization. In ruling against the U.S. law to protect sea turtles in shrimp fishing, the wto ignores its own charter provision that allows actions that protect natural resources. The "enemy" of wildlife and the environment is not free global trade; it is poorly crafted trade policies that sell short the protections in which all citizens of the world have a stake. MARK...
...when, earlier this month, in an echo of the dolphin decision, the WTO ruled against a U.S. law blocking shrimp imports from countries whose boats endanger rare green sea turtles, the environmentalists were again ready for battle. They denounced the decision at a joint press conference, are preparing a letter to President Clinton, and have begun lobbying Congress. The Sierra Club will conduct a summer-long outreach program based on the slogan "Don't trade away the environment...
...environmental left are arguing against one of leftism's cherished convictions--that the U.S. has an obligation to accept large numbers of the people who want to settle here. That's because the same nationalist sentiment that distrusts the free movement of goods--the unrestricted flow, say, of shrimp caught in turtle-killing nets--also tends to distrust the free movement of labor: in other words, immigration...

Snoot is hard-sought at Alloro, however--the waiter seemed thrilled at our animalistic enjoyment of the food. A third appetizer seemed impossible to pass up. The only glaringly untraditional dish on the menu, the grilled shrimp on fennel salad is the last vestige of Alloro's former image. Four enormous shrimp are chargrilled and split open on top of a healthy portion of shredded fennel, red cabbage, and black olives. Lightly dressed in vinaigrette, the salad tops a circular "pancake" of ground garbanzo beans. The pancake...
Seared blackened tuna steak will probably never edge out jambalaya where it counts. But perhaps it should. Topped with lightly fried beer-battered shrimp, the succulent fish swam on top of a vaguely tangy mustard sauce. The plate was livened by spicy sauteed collard greens--or perhaps it was the more raffine kale--and mashed potatoes. The overstuffed pork chop was way too sophisticated to hearken back to grand-ma's recipe. It came stuffed with apple and andouille sausage which cohered around moistened breadcrumbs. Black plum ketchup provided a foil for the smoky, spicy meat. The same potato...
