Some facilities work harder than others to make dolphins feel at home. Dolphins Plus, in Key Largo, Fla., fences off an area of the Florida Bay, thereby connecting the play area to the ocean. One of its owners, Rick Borguss, also holds stock in nearby Dolphin Cove, a natural lagoon surrounded by palm trees where children with disabilities interact with the sea mammals. Orlando's Discovery Cove has three man-made lagoons, seven holding pools, a medical pool for sick animals and a staff of 70-plus workers to tend to the needs of 30 dolphins...
Defenders of these aquariums insist that their goal is to educate, not exploit. "There are billions of people who have no access to animals or [any way to] learn about nature," says Borguss. "People who leave here appreciate the animals." Discovery Cove produces curriculum guides and encourages its specialists to visit local schools. A federal study conducted last year appears to back up the claim that playing with people is no more harmful to the dolphins than performing for them. It found that 12 "interactive" dolphins exhibited no greater stress than their counterparts who simply took part in shows...
...pride myself in having combined Project HEALTH and Phillips Brooks House programs with my desire to see New England. I have spent afternoons in Roxbury and been to sites of local note from Mt. Monadnock to Battleship Cove. I have seen the Patriots Day reenactments in Lexington, the running of the Marathon, and been apple-picking in the fading days of fall. I know how walkably close State is to Copley, no matter how many stops and transfers getting there on the T would require...
...doors, secluded from the hustle and bustle of the ticketing lines and program vendors. A massive press box looms overhead, casting a slight shadow on the eight neat little rows of red benches that dip smoothly down toward the ice surface. It's nestled between Section 12 and the cove of Eddie the Zamboni Driver, a bit too far from the hot dog stand and a bit too close to the home-team band. Its view of the action is comprehensive; its position within the arena is commanding. It is also the home to some of the meanest, nastiest things...
...spin an Indian fable, How the Rabbit Stole the Sun, in the Ahwahnee Camp Circle. Catch the charming film snippets of Rosie O'Donnell and Colin Mochrie in the Boudin Bakery pavilion. Wander through Paradise Pier, where you will find Wolfgang Puck's to-diet-for seafood restaurant, Avalon Cove. Are you listening to the perky sound of a carousel calliope? Hold on--it's playing Warm California...
