...lure of about 100 species of birds that spend their summers in the region. (He makes no mention of the score or so species of mosquitoes that share the turf.) Rosie Porter, the feisty editor and publisher of the weekly Tundra Drums and proprietor of the Porter House Bed and Breakfast, thinks the tourists ought to include the Soviets, just a couple of hours away across the Bering Sea. "They'd be real good customers," she says, clearly thinking more of her occupancy rate than of the Drums' circulation. A sobering counterpoint to these schemes, however, is the rise...

Shelton, 29, assigned to the observatory by the University of Toronto, had been taking long exposures of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a task that occupied him until 2:40 a.m. on Feb. 24.

...Glowacki arrived in the U.S. as a virtual unknown. Hunting Cockroaches, which opened off-Broadway last week, transmutes his struggles into vibrant farce devoid of self-pity. During an emblematic sleepless night, as nightmare figures ranging from an immigration officer to condescending liberals pop out from beneath their bed, the pragmatic couple never complain of life's unfairness. They accept having to prove themselves. They just wish it would not take so long...
