Oh hollow heart! Oh deepest sorrow!
This is the only newspaper column you will read today that seeks in any way to replicate the emotional intensity of traditional Spanish song while remaining true to its origins in the weekly journals of 18th century London. After reading it, you may be grateful for its rarity. Your contempt will make me melancholy, because I am writing to be read, to be read by the one I love, the one I love who turns away and treats the success of my failure with indifference, but wait — I have started already and we have not yet had the big capital letter so integral to Chronicle typography.

Weed watch: What is the DEA smoking?
On September 17, lawyers for the Hemp Industries Association and the Drug Enforcement Administration appeared before a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco to present oral arguments regarding the DEA’s attempt to ban food products containing hemp seeds and oil. Back in 2001, without publicly vetting their proposal — likely a violation of established federal procedures — the DEA announced a near-total ban on such products, arguing a prohibition was necessary because hemp seeds contain trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.
