...National Park, of course, the owls are protected from these intrusions. Discreetly nesting fifty or a hundred feet off the ground in huge, old trees, the protective adult owl and the shy chicks make for elusive subjects. I have spent many rainy hours in the silent forest, negotiating rock-strewn ravines, climbing over soft rotting logs and thrashing through wet underbrush—all the while hooting for the birds that are harder to find every year...
Twain's desire for privacy is hardly discouraged by him. The Rhodesian-born Lange, 53, started out writing radio jingles before producing heavy metal for AC/DC, disco for Billy Ocean, arena rock for Foreigner and adult contemporary for Bryan Adams.

Five tablespoons of peanut butter reduced the risk 20%. What's the secret...
...notion that fairy tales are simple stories for simple minds is long out of fashion. It is now common academic practice to see the tales as models for, and mirrors of, cultural concerns, representing and commenting on social realities. Reading a scholarly take on a fairy tale, as an adult, is rather like looking at the ingredients list on a package of lunchables: it tasted fine when we were kids, but now that we know what’s inside, it’s hard to believe we ever got it down...
