about a Jewish lobsterman and how he fits in with the culture of Deer Isle, Maine. As you might guess, Deer Isle does not have many Jewish people. He talks about that, but also talks about how lobstering, in it's own way, fits into the Jewish tradition.
There was an article in the Science section of the New York Times about how dreams appear two ways. First, they might appear as the result of a day's emotional events.
