...head for Animal Kingdom ($75). Cynics will argue, correctly, that the park's Kilimanjaro Safaris are merely rides around a large zoo. But this zoo has no walls, and you see it from a rover-style truck. The animals might walk right up or lie low in some brush as a guide imparts PBS-worthy information ("Thomson's gazelles are fully grown at 60 lb."). For adults who can't afford a trip to Africa, it's a highly satisfying substitute...
...tremendous oversight. Corporations in developed countries certainly should feel socially responsible for those in developing ones. But if they ever want to be taken seriously as agents of social change, they need to consider their own nation's economy as well. Gates is incorrect to brush over the U.S.'s economic woes so lightly, especially when creative capitalism could solve some problems like our oft-neglected poverty.

...outside town. It's the waning hours of the afternoon, though it's hard to tell; time loses its meaning during an Arctic summer. As we drive down Kangerlussuaq's only road, we pass sprawling glacial-melt lakes of the purest blue, framed by rocky hills dusted with brush. The landscape seems freshly carved, as indeed it is in Greenland, where the expansion and contraction of ice constantly remakes the earth...
