Book embarks on fun tour of culinary delights in U.S.
In a nation with a 24-hour-a-day TV channel devoted to nothing but food, hundreds, if not thousands, of Web sites for foodies, and a fusion restaurant in every little town, Calvin Trillin is a breath of fresh air - someone who knows that food is all-important and yet can't be taken too seriously.

AURORA, Ill. -- Annika Sorenstam sure can give an encore. A week after making history at the Colonial, Sorenstam shot a 10-under 62 Friday in the first round of the Kellogg-Keebler Classic. That set a course record, and also matched the lowest score in relation to par this year on the LPGA Tour.

'Chronicle' geographical error surprising

Was popular pastor railroaded into resigning?
I'm not sure who is responsible for the railroading of Dr. Timothy Owings, pastor of First Baptist Church. I have been a member of the church for almost 10 years. When I joined the church, it was the humility and non-judgmental attitude of Dr. Owings that drew me there. I had "church shopped" for a year and always came back to Dr. Owings' view of the world. He is a true Christian. He doesn't judge. He doesn't envy or challenge. He only loves and accepts. Laura Hill, Augusta

Government intrusion getting out of hand
Political correctness strikes again, and Gov. Sonny Perdue is right in the middle of it. An illegal tax hike (tobacco) and an invasion of privacy (gun locks) are the points that I am interested in. And all of this is in the name of "protecting the children." Robert P. McConnell Jr., Hephzibah, Ga.

Mr. Simon said it much better than I ever could. Bonnie Cox, North Augusta, S.C.

The other is that when I am helped to a chair, they then take my cane and put it out of my reach. I know these people are just being kind, but I would like to see this addressed in your column. - Crick Complaint
