...States to reopen negotiations on Pacific salmon. As the 300-boat blockade broke apart, the ferry Malaspina departed the harbor with a blast of its horns, ending a siege which kept about 135 passengers captive since Saturday. The ferry had been held hostage by Canadian fishermen who claim U.S. fishing fleets are violating a 1985 treaty on salmon fishing by netting the choicest fish in the ocean as they swim to Canada.

...inner quest as she tries to piece together the fragments of her life and loves by observing the natural wonders around her.

Squeezed into a 54-foot wooden boat (called a "knarr"), expedition members will chart their course by the stars and sun and dine on the succulent Viking staples of freshly caught fish and moss and lichens to be gathered at beaches along the way. In true Viking style, crew members will rely on just six oars and a square canvas sail to make their destination in L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland before hurricane season hits in late August. Modern navigational tools will...
