...Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori [NOTEBOOK, Nov. 6], he keeps making misstatements. Sensible people here have lost patience with Mori's repeated irresponsible remarks about missing Japanese allegedly having been abducted by North Koreans. Why did we ever choose him as Prime Minister? His statements are rubbing neighboring nations the wrong way and undercutting the progress made since World War II. TAKESHI MIZUGUCI Toki, Japan...
...wrong to put the blame for the crash of Singapore Airlines Flight 006 solely on the pilot who turned onto the wrong runway [AVIATION, Nov. 13].

The Given Diagnostic Imaging System is a camera tucked inside a tiny capsule that, when swallowed, takes a sci-fi jaunt through the body, beaming detailed color images to a patient-worn belt that are then downloaded onto a computer for analysis. It's cool--and currently being tested overseas--but FDA approval is still years away, and so far doctors have been plagued...
