...Randolph Hearst's monument to the search for happiness, at San Simeon, and extends 90 miles north to Carmel. Earle has enlarged our purview to include the Monterey Bay area 12 miles farther northwest, so that we are able to look at Elkhorn Slough off Moss Landing and Monterey Canyon. This underwater chasm, as huge as the Grand Canyon, reaches out 45 nautical miles to the foot of the continental slope, and down 9,600 ft. At the top it ripples black, like a tarpaulin on a baseball field in the rain. Below, it contains life-forms that range from...

...home life means spending time with a menagerie of pets and her steady boyfriend, actor Luke Wilson (Bottle Rocket), at her newly converted barn tucked away in a Los Angeles canyon.

Stacked around his desk like a fortress are volumes on the Boer War, the Civil War and World...
...never-ending battle between creativity and bureaucracy, the suits just won a round. The big ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG retrospective that was wildly popular in New York and Texas was to travel next to the Ludwig Museum in Cologne. But one of the artist's most famous and important works, Canyon, below left, a collage that features a stuffed bald eagle with a box in its talons, may not make it. Under the U.S. Eagle Protection Act, regulation No. 50CFR22.2, no bald eagle, no matter how long dead (this one flapped off its mortal coil more than 40 years ago), may leave...
