I just read the article on the mysteries and vagaries of foreign toilets (March 28). Let me tell you mine. I visited the house of Sir John Soane in London. At the end of my visit I asked to use the WC under the stairs. The seat was a well-polished board over an opening. When I tried to leave this room, the door knob wouldn't turn. I pounded on the door and the guard came and got me out. He said, "Madam, you had the honor of being locked in the oldest flush toilet in London." That was an honor.

Good schools and proximity to jobs, shopping and entertainment -- those are parts of the rural lifestyle package that developers tout. But that kind of lifestyle may become harder to find. According to the World Almanac, 42.3 percent of the U.S. population age 10 and over worked on farms in 1890. By 1990, that figure had dropped to 2.4 percent for those ages 16 and over. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Quarterly, the number of American farmers is projected to decrease by 112 percent between 1996 and 2006.

Thomas Gibbons Aylesworth, the author of more than 100 books written mostly for children and young adults, died Thursday at his home in Stamford, Conn. He was 67. The cause was a heart attack, said Hana Umlauf Lane, a family friend and the editor of some of his books. His work covered a wide range of topics, from movie monsters to the environment, from baseball to body language. Most of the dozens of titles still in print are thumbnail sketches of the country's regions and states written for the State Reports and Let's Discover the States series published by Chelsea House of New York.
