...short, is once again delivering laughs. So why, for a veteran fan, does the new Saturday Night Live still seem like a pale imitation of its old self? For one thing, the most popular bits -- Carvey's Church Lady, the body-building brothers Hans and Franz -- are the weakest parts of the show, crowd pleasers that depend on makeup gimmicks rather than nimble gags.

Consumption of fish has shot up 20% since 1980, to about 3 billion lbs. annually, mainly because it has been touted as beneficial to health. Yet it is the only food without a comprehensive, mandatory federal inspection program. The alarming fact is that about three-quarters of seafood arrives on diners' plates without a look-see by anyone...
