...dramatic start to a heartwarming finish. Eben Cole, a lifelong fisherman on a small island off the coast of Maine, loses his friends, family, and lifestyle when an accident at sea lands him in jail.

It should be a last resort that is attempted only when the wild population is no longer viable...
...Actually, the one thing we all have in common is our style," says Ken Salazar. The new Rocky Mountain Democrats are populist, unpretentious, egalitarian and tough. They tend to be avid hunters and fishermen. (I was with Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer one day when he reached into his pocket for a pen and pulled out a 30.06 rifle bullet.) A surprising number of them have backgrounds in law enforcement. Of the Democrats who have been elected Governors in the all-blue stripe of states running from Montana to New Mexico, only Bill Richardson of New Mexico has spent any time...
