In Alaska we have more salmon than we know what to do with. Annual statewide salmon catches usually hover at around 200 million fish. Sending that message to readers serves only to cripple further an industry that has steadily been losing market share for its wild, free-roaming salmon to those that are farmed. Sharply increasing prices have slowed down her use of shark fins, but, unfortunately, this soup is often a featured course at Chinese banquets.

But by suspending the peace talks, Israel will ensure that any effort to resume the negotiations will again be met with violence. If the talks continue, however, the terrorists' acts will be rendered futile.
