...Rockower and Krugman may, of course, be proven wrong, and the real estate market could continue to climb for some time to come. As with stocks, bonds and other investments, it's often difficult to make blanket statements about the entire real estate market, especially since home prices vary wildly in different cities, states and regions. But, considering the rising tide of interest rates, now seems a perfect time to assess your real estate holdings and home loan with an accountant or mortgage broker, just to make sure you're on the right track...
...UNDER THE SHUTTLE The orbiter didn't escape unharmed. There are at least 25 dings on its underside, including one near the nose, where temperatures can climb dangerously high ?FOAM DEBRIS The biggest chunk was 2 to 3 ft. wide (0.6 to 0.9 m), about 1 ft. long (0.3 m) and up to 8 in. (20 cm) thick; it probably weighed 0.9 lbs. (0.4 kg), about half the size of the piece that downed Columbia ?THE TROUBLESOME RAMP Most of the falling bits came from the so-called PAL ramp, a ridge of hand-sprayed foam designed...
...museum, and literary curiosity beats a path to its door. The house Stevenson and his American wife Fanny carved into the mountainside recently made it into Patricia Schulz's bestselling 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, and each year up to 12,000 Stevensonians, tourists and scholars climb the hill to peer into the world of a man who has kidnapped the imagination of generations.

When that happens, she'll swear like a trooper. Then she'll break into a hearty, long laugh. Here's an energetic cop, only seven years in the job, who craves action and responsibility but doesn't take herself too seriously. To the smiling, freckled Curragh, this outpost, and the surrounding islands, is an amazing place - "Magical Munda," she calls...
...Iranian officials are a bit ashamed of this fanatic lurking in their history, and tried to discourage me from going to Alamut, near Qazvin in northwestern Iran, about 80 miles northeast of Tehran. But Mehrdad and I pressed on anyway. We climb the steep rock outcrop atop which Alamut's castle glowers over a valley of cherry orchards in full bloom. Inside the castle, however, we find no trace of the legendary pleasure garden - no crumbling stones of a fountain or wild thorns descended from the garden's roses, only wind, gray rock and grasses. On the ramparts, we encounter...
