...much for Ingraham and Lefkowitz. Guests at the Doral received a pointed set of rules aimed at Renaissance's p.c. caste. No. 1 was "No group hugs."

Some arrivals could not take the puckish hint that this was a time for public-policy grinds to blow off steam, but others fell right into the outlaw spirit. "I always smoked when I was pregnant," announced G. Gordon Liddy's wife to a companion. A batch of half-looped Young Turks at the bar cheered...

Groove Theory is a restrained affair, with reservoirs of emotion. Singer-lyricist Amel Larrieux's voice is a placid soprano with an intriguing hint of hidden hurt that evokes the gently aching style of Sade, or Beth Gibbons of the British band Portishead...
...established for the Galapagos, a foreign fishing vessel was noticed. This ship apparently had permission to fish for shark among the islands. We were suddenly disturbed by the sight of hundreds of shark fins drying on lines strung above the vessel's main deck. That was only a hint of what the future was to bring. Now, because of overfishing, there is a ban on lobstering and the sea cucumber is threatened...
