As Long as You Don't Eat It
While the catfish that James Johnson was photographed holding at the end of his fishing line is a good-looking fish ["A Rarity for Those in D.C. Area: Taking Time to Enjoy Potomac's View," Metro, July 14], I hope he didn't eat it.
Because of chemical contamination, the D.C. Health Department's Web site warns against any consumption of eels, carp and catfish caught in D.C. waters.
The Post's story should have carried the same warning.

Not His Best Light
I have to say that I was extremely disappointed when I saw the July 16 front page. I find it interesting that, with all of today's technology, advances in rapid-shot photography and a professional staff of photographers at a reputable newspaper, a better picture of the president of the United States could not be found.
Ironically, my roommate and I had been discussing the controversy over the Barack Obama cartoon on the cover of the New Yorker right before I saw your paper.
I mentioned how people seem to get so upset about a poor portrayal of a presidential candidate, but little thought is given to how the leader of the free world is presented.
