...extinct. You were certainly correct to cite biofuels and bad harvests as the key reasons for this scarcity. Several of our suppliers readily admit they have sold their stocks of sugar, corn and rapeseed to biofuel manufacturers simply because they can make a lot more money that way. I wish you had cited the declaration of Jean Ziegler, the independent U.N. expert on food, that biofuels made from foodstuffs are a crime against humanity.

...there's at least one Thai gourmet who may wish he'd stayed away from street food and stuck with pricier fare. Thailand's recently elected Prime Minister, Samak Sundaravej, boasts a famous palate; before he assumed the P.M. post, Samak hosted his own TV cooking show.

On April 1 - and, no, this was no April Fool's joke - local newspapers put coverage...
...Mayor Jason Hu, a former Foreign Minister. Later that Saturday night, Hu, sans entourage, and I took an impromptu walk in a park in a gentrified neighborhood bustling with trendy new shops and eateries.

That's because Hu, a Kuomintang (KMT) stalwart who was first elected Taichung's mayor in 2001 when he defeated the independent...
...blacks have not been innocent in the posthumous manipulations of King's legacy. If many whites have undercut King by praising him to death, many blacks have hollowed his individuality through worship. The black reflex to protect King's reputation from unprincipled attack is understandable. But the wish to worship him into perfection is misled; the desire to deify him is tragically misplaced. The scars of his humanity are what make his glorious achievements all the more remarkable...
Farewell to Arms I read your article about Brett Favre's retirement from football, then reread it - and read it one more time [March 17]. Green Bay Packers backers here in Wisconsin have had a very sad week. We are all happy for Favre and wish him well, but we wonder what in the world we will do without him. Your article reminded me that I am not alone. Thank you! Mary Towne, DELAFIELD...
