I question your decision to prominently feature (Page Stegner's) review of David Foreman's book, "Confessions of an Eco-Warrior," in the March 10 Book Review. If his biocentrist philosophy were implemented, it would bring about mass deaths through the dismantling of our industrial means of production. It would be more fitting to classify Foreman as an eco-terrorrist. He and his organization Earth First! have maliciously carried out acts of sabotage against private property, and the attention afforded to him in your newspaper only serves to encourage such acts.

Within an hour, they'll head up toward an area of Laguna Canyon known as Sycamore Hills and protest the planned six-lane San Joaquin Hills tollway that would crisscross the canyon. It's the same place local residents converged by the thousands in 1989 and, as local history would have it, persuaded the Irvine Co.

A 2-year-old girl survived on ketchup, mustard and dried pasta for nearly three weeks after she was left home alone while her mother was being held in jail, authorities said Tuesday.
