Bay of Pigs' Waste		24 Aug 2001	Daily Grist

Parris in the Summertime		21 Aug 2001	Daily Grist

Whale of a Time A review of A Whale Hunt	Elizabeth Grossman	07 Mar 2001	Arts and Minds
For countless generations the Makah Indians have lived on the shores of Neah Bay, in the corner of Washington's Olympic Peninsula, the northwesternmost tip of the 48 states.

Down for the Count? There aren't many right whales left	Gail Krueger	09 Jun 2000	Main Dish
Chris Slay wears bib overalls and wire-rimmed glasses, occasionally recites poetry, and watches right whales for a living. Once more into the breach. David Wiley, National Marine Fisheries Service. After this year's dismal right whale calving season, the poetry that comes to Slay's mind is darkly pessimistic. The rarest whale of them all may be getting rarer.

The Coast Is Clear -- of Salmon Atlantic salmon are even worse off than their Pacific cousins	Wayne Curtis	12 Apr 2000	Main Dish
To catch an Atlantic salmon in the Machias River back in the 1940s -- and we're talking a legitimate salmon here, maybe 30 or 40 pounds -- didn't require a knack with rod and reel, nor even the wily patience of the angler. Mostly what you needed was decent aim with a rifle or pitchfork or jig hook. The mighty Machias. Or for that matter, a good-sized river stone. "I reme ...

Not the Only Fish in the Sea Are efforts to protect the dolphin putting other fish in a sea of trouble?	Rick Gaffney	28 Oct 1999	Main Dish
There were predictable cries of protest from some conservationists who focus on charismatic megafauna when revised standards for use of the "dolphin safe" tuna label were announced by the Commerce Department in April. Though the new rules stipulate that no dolphins should be killed or seriously injured, they do let canners label their product "dolphin ...
