Your story seemed to suggest that??all whaling is morally wrong, without distinguishing between harvesting endangered species and hunting those that are plentiful. You stated that Norway "openly flouts" the rules of the International Whaling Commission, but Norway is within its rights to set its own catch limits. Having eaten whale and enjoyed it, I fail to see any moral difference between eating whale and eating beef. JAN MAGNUSSEN Old Lyme, Conn...
Your reporting stated that??"Few modern Americans ... are shocked to hear how vital Indians have been to California's high-tech industry." With regard to outsourcing, you quoted an Indian executive's observation that "the jobs will go to those who can do them best, in the most cost-effective manner. Geography is irrelevant." So American workers are losing jobs to insourcing as well as outsourcing! We can't get a break. JOSEPH MICHAEL SIMASEK Morganton...
Roosevelt came to believe that??government had the right to moderate the excesses of free enterprise. Although his exercises of power seem modest to us now--the breakup of monopolies, the Pure Food and Drug Act, the meat-inspection and industrial-safety laws--it was a shock to the system at the time. Roosevelt--a Republican!--insisted that one of the things government must govern is the economy. Today, when the Justice Department goes after Microsoft or Enron, when the Environmental Protection Agency adjusts mileage standards or the Fed tweaks the prime, somewhere his ghost is smiling...
...DECEMBERUNDERGROUND Now that??this once tiny hard-core band is a chart topper, you'd think AFI would be a little less miserable. It isn't, and its fans (the adorably named Despair Faction) love the group for it. But no matter, since AFI's relentless verbal gloom is trumped by huge glittering hooks. Miss Murder swaggers by with such confidence that if you block out the lyrics ("Miss Murder can I/ Make beauty stay if I/ Take my life?"), you might convince yourself that lead singer Davey Havok sounds a little happy. But good luck convincing the Despair Faction...
Rick Shannon senses that??something is wrong when the retired record producers he has been hired to find keep turning up freshly murdered--one with a fork still sticking out of his back. Shannon is a weeknight DJ at a classic-rock station in Vicksburg, Miss., who runs a detective agency by day. The case that drives this Southern-fried page-turner revolves around a dying cotton dynasty, an OxyContin-popping former football star and tapes of a late-night blues session that have been missing for 50 years. Fitzhugh's dialogue is as cool as a pitcher of iced...
