Fat Pride and the social allergy to fat people
Ray Orrock discusses a culture turning surly and sensitive to insults. He critiques a new Fat Pride book by Marvin Grosswirth and the push to protest fat-related humor and ads. The piece imagines a department store Santa turned angry over fat jokes, as a cautionary example of where prejudice could lead.

Chile Says U.N. Race Blocked by U.S. Rejection
Chile denounces Washington for rejecting Felipe Herrera as U.N. secretary general candidate. The Chilean delegation calls the move groundless and undiplomatic, saying it undermines Latin American efforts and ignores a broad regional and international consensus. The U.S. cited Chilean foreign policy as the reason, despite Herrera’s broad support and the Latin American Caucus backing him.
