species of fish may be extinct within a few decades. Commercial

the Audubon Society and other groups.  A panel talks about managing
the demand for fish while protecting the populations and their
environments.

Betty Fussell ("FUSSell") uses the kitchens in each of her homes as
the setting for a memoir of her marriage.  Like many postwar
housewives, she found herself frustrated by the limits of
domesticity.  As she tells in her book, she found ways to do
something about it.
