**** Food Bloggers Of 1940 <http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/31/books/review/Miles-t.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss>
by Jonathan Miles, New York Times

America may have been a younger land back then, as Kurlansky’s title suggests, but with its boundless appetite, it’s far from finished growing.

**** How ST Covered The Story <http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking+News/Singapore/Story/STIStory_383613.html>

I stand by the professionalism of our reporters. The personal attacks against the integrity of our journalists sadden me because they show the vindictiveness of our critics and the length to which they are prepared to go to attack our professionalism.
