Please Pass the Cockroaches Re "Eating bugs": how about advocating for a more palatable vegetarian national future [June 16]? I've been a vegetarian for 37 years. I'm 61, 6 ft. 2 in., 185 lb. and healthy enough to compete in 100-mile mountain-bike races, ski, climb and dance all night with my wife. I've been living extremely well on rice and beans for protein, tofu, tempeh, fruits, greens, grains and 40 g of fiber daily. Meat and dairy products cause more obesity, heart disease and other ill-health consequences. Eat vegetarian for yourself and the planet...
...Future of the Internet There is a new platform on the horizon. It's the mobile platform. Here in the U.S., we are far behind in the mobile revolution [June 16]. Europe is ahead of us, but the real cutting edge is in Asia. Powerful handheld computers with features such as wi-fi may be new to the U.S., but they've been available in other countries for a while.

Obama's Image At a time when America's economic might and political credibility are faltering, Obama's ascendancy [June 16] is a boost. It is comforting to see that America is still a beacon when we aspire to a fair society where color and race don't matter. Tsai King-Hang, HONG KONG...
Coldplay Rocks As a music journalist I take issue with Josh Tyrangiel's swipes at Coldplay, in both his preview of the new album [June 9] and his latest feature ("Hit Restart," [June 16]). Tyrangiel calls the British foursome "annoying," "crib-safe" and rockers who "pound listeners into submission." Give me a break. As if to defend his distaste, Tyrangiel trots out an absurd, less-than-articulate statement from Chuck Klosterman ("Coldplay is absolutely the s - iest f - ing band I've ever heard in my entire f - ing life"), and a pompous statement from the New York Times...
...Starbucks Grows in Harlem While Alex Altman's article will one day be considered prophetic for its facts and truth, a wider context might be needed [June 16]. Harlem's gentrification is no different from the gentrification occurring all over New York City. From bodegas turned Starbucks in the East Village to the Disneyfication of Times Square, pushing out the old and ushering in the new has been transforming our neighborhoods. The perpetrators? Real estate developers, the politicians and residents who desire progress in our city and those who can afford to pay the high rents and prices. Sadly...
