...glass from Nashville?s skyline lay on the city?s deserted streets today after two tornadoes that killed 13 people elsewhere in the South ripped a six-mile gash through the city. Most of the country music capital was without power last night, and at least 500 buildings were seriously damaged. The tornadoes were the second wave of killer storms in eight days to move through the South, during a storm season that has killed more than 100 people since February. The storm system heads across the Southeast and southern New England today...
...first leg of J.J.'s return voyage last week was the 11-mile, 45-min. trip by truck from Sea World to dockside.

Each of the towers, taller than a 90-story building, is equipped with 20 vibration-control devices; if winds make the structure sway, pendulums tug the towers back. The bridge is designed...
...Montana, somewhere south of Bozeman and north of Yellow-stone, where a bit of the Wild West still remains. Outside runs the Gallitan river where the movie A River Runs Through It was filmed half a mile upstream. About five miles down the pike is the local's bar, a place where you can still order buffalo burgers. Every vehicle parked outside it is a 4x4 full of mud and rust, because in Montana people use their 4x4s for more than commuting to and from the office...
