...salmon season, and thick fillets, red from the smokehouse, were drying on a line strung from a nearby tree. Husband Todd Palin was chopping wood and feeding it into a homemade sauna, the kind that native fishermen - like him - sweat themselves clean in after a day on Bristol Bay. He likes it hot - 190°F to 200°F (about 90°C to 95°C) - but that's too much for Sarah.

...scientists' understanding of the effect that crude oil can have on a vulnerable marine environment: it is more toxic to life than we thought, and harder to clean up. "Even the best cleanup will fall short," says Craig Tillery, a deputy attorney general for the state of Alaska - whose Bristol Bay and Chukchi Sea are being considered for offshore oil and gas exploration - and a member of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council, which funded the NOAA studies.
