...Ever since Admiral Peary made his third and finally successful journey to the North Pole 90 years ago, there have been dreamers who saw themselves skiing to the top of the earth. Very few have done so, of course, because it's hard going--and because only in the past decade have travel companies offered would-be Arctic explorers the kind of expedition they could manage. The company that pioneered such trips, Northwest Passage, is planning its fifth trek to the geographic North Pole starting in early February with a six-day training session on Baffin Island. In April...
...this is new to me. Even the Rockies look different here, more brooding and stuck up. The only fishing I've ever done is the kind Chouinard dismisses as too easy for words--"with live worms!"

...York City psychotherapist Natalie H. Rogers reluctantly allowed herself to be persuaded to accompany a friend on a yoga retreat in the Bahamas. The experience turned out to be so wonderful that the following year, Rogers went again--with 16 of her patients. And she's been going ever since.

Pearl's class taught her how to weave her beliefs into her work and become part of her own creation. "It was different from any weaving I have ever done before," she says. Pearl has an unofficial teacher's aide: Taos itself. Students, who arrange their own lodging, absorb the rugged mountain landscape, the strong pure light, the rich blend of Native American and European cultures and incorporate them into what one student calls "blankets of love." Folks shouldn...
...Ever wonder why good legislation dies and bad bills survive? One way to find out is to sign up for a week with the Close Up Foundation's $1,160 Congressional Senior Citizen Intern Program in Washington. Participants go to hearings and briefings, take political seminars on topics ranging from health care to international relations, meet with VIPs and lend a hand in the office of one of their Senators or Representatives. Accommodations and most meals are provided by a nearby Marriott. During her stint as an intern in California Democratic Representative Bob Filner's office, Lupita Jimenez, a children...
