after, Internet bloggers buzzed with the news of Webb's death. The

The Taste of Bacon, Cubed
Lately you can't pick up a food magazine without coming across
another ode to bacon, which really is one of the most seductive
ingredients ever cured. But there's more to the story than the
American way of frying. Now that detente has been declared with
Old Europe, it's safe to say one thing for the French: They do
bacon right. By Regina Schrambling.

What's Behind the Buzz
It was a surprise hit at the Cannes Film Festival, then a
box-office sensation throughout France - both a succes d'estime
(the critics loved it) and a succes de scandale (many people in
the wine world hated it, and a few threatened lawsuits over it).
It is "Mondovino," a documentary about the increasing
globalization of the world's wines. By David Shaw.

OPINION
_______
Editorial: Energy Non-Policy
Sure, it's cynical to attach an otherwise unpassable bill to the
federal budget resolution. In the case of permitting oil
exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, it's bad
budgeting as well. Worse, it marks a larger failure to create an
energy policy that would honestly lead to less dependence on
foreign oil.
http://email.latimes.com/cgi-bin1/DM/y/emzS0H41Qn0G2B0GVSG0E6
Editorial: Congress' Big Stick
Federal marshals tagging baseball players with subpoenas wasn't
what we expected when big league baseball promised to return to
Washington after a 33-year absence. Nor was the prospect of
sluggers invoking the 5th Amendment as interrogators demand that
they testify about steroid use.

Andres Martinez: Truth Is, Bush's Propaganda Hurts the U.S.
Spin is nothing new in American politics, but the Bush
administration has not contented itself with trying to influence
the news. It's in the business of producing the news itself, in
the hopes of passing it off as generic, third-party reporting.
This is propaganda parading as journalism.
