...Today, one can hover over Stevenson's single bed in his upstairs study (Fanny disliked the aquamarine walls almost as much as his coughing), gaze into his man-sized safe, and pace the verandas where the writer would listen to the distant surf crashing on the reef. But Samoa's climate hasn't been kind to his writing. A set of first editions in the museum has almost perished. "The cockroaches got to the books," says museum manager Lufilufi Rasmussen. "The covers aren't legible now, so we have to get them restored...
...seas, clean 2-m waves are rolling in. The tall 25-year-old took up surfing eight months ago. He's unemployed now - a friend chips in that this is because Liava'a kept taking sick days to catch waves. Liava'a laughs this off, but without diverting his gaze from the breakers he says happily, "I have all the time I need now." There is no lack of obsessive surfers in the world.

And while the DVD player takes the edge off long trips with my 2-year-old son, I can't shake this feeling that it's only a matter of time before I plow into a busload of schoolkids while struggling to cue up SpongeBob SquarePants. My navigation system, meanwhile, not only can locate...
...guess I do, a bit. So much is different, it?s inevitable that the trophy-only a symbol, after all-is starting to feel as if it?s about something else: the Red Sox championship, not the Red Sox on the field. As you gaze at the splendid Waterford glassware that is the World Championship trophy, which for all these weeks and months has been making a whistle-stop tour of one New England burgh after another, the team that you conjure consists of a Foulke who is a lights-out closer, not a DL?ed basket case; a Schilling...
