On Sept. 15, Balbir Singh Sodhi, a father of three, was killed outside his gas station in Phoenix, in what police said was clearly a hate crime.Sikhs have experienced a double whammy, says Amardeep Singh. We share the same fear all Americans face about terrorism, but then there is the fear from within  that fellow Americans may not think we are a part of them. Many Sikhs, like myself, were born and raised here, said the Pledge of Allegiance in school, played Little League or had soccer moms. We're Americans, he says.The US Justice Department is taking the offenses seriously, contacting Sikh groups daily to learn of any new incidents. The government has been very good at investigating crimes, but we haven't yet seen an indictment, Mr. Singh adds.On Friday, four Sikh groups met with Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta about profiling issues at airports.

Nor is there any indication that people have shifted from pot roast to tofu burgers as a result of the scare. While pork and poultry are gaining as a portion of their diet, Americans on average continue to eat more than 60 pounds of beef per person a year.Still, 41 percent of those in the Harvard survey said they weren't very confident in the meat inspection system.That lack of confidence remains an issue for major importers of US beef as well. A ban on US beef continues in Japan (which had been the largest importer of US beef), despite President Bush's recent appeal to Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.To bolster confidence here and abroad, the USDA imposed new rules for beef production. Among these: Downer cattle (those injured or too sick to stand) may not be used for human food, and slaughterhouses may not use techniques that can mix brain or spinalcord tissue (the focus of the disease) with muscle meat.

As Pulitzer Prizewinner David Maraniss demonstrates in his thoroughly entertaining new biography, Clemente, this was a baseball hero worthy of the title.Indeed, reading Clemente's life story and subsequent role as a blend of superstar and mythic figure, he summons comparisons not so much with other athletes as with the late John Lennon. The adoration of their fans was similarly intense and so were many aspects of their personalities: prickly and difficult one moment, sensitive and tender the next.But Lennon, it is safe to say, never had the extensive lis
