...Filipino Fare Joel Stein should not have compared the qualities of Jollibee restaurants with those of Pamela Anderson [April 9]. I have nothing against her, but for me and countless others, Jollibee personifies what it is to be Filipino. We are a happy and resilient people who value families. We love and care deeply for our elders.

It may be hard to admit, but these mimeographed restaurants you referred to actually have something better tasting to offer. If the hungry American likes it too, then I've proved my point.

...Sixth-ranked Harvard was racing third-ranked Brown for the Stein Cup, which the Bears won last year, breaking the Crimson’s five-year hold on it. The Harvard oarsmen had to contend not only with their human opponents, though, but with a headwind that battled them fiercely every stroke...
