...America the tourist wandered through Philadelphia, then journeyed down the Ohio River across the wilderness and back through the Allegheny Mountains. Encounters with Indian maidens and frontier moonlight enlivened his novels René and Atala and gave many Europeans new notions of the New World. The fantastic journey ended one night in a backwoods millhouse, where the fire illuminated an old newspaper headline: FLIGHT OF THE KING. Chateaubriand raced to Europe to join the army of the émigré princes. But the cause was hopeless, and he fled in exile to England. There he will languish until Volume...

...weeks. My traveling companion Rich Graham and I spent the first two weeks in the San Diego area, flying mostly at Torrey Pines, but did some flying inland at Lake Elsinore and Big Black Mountain outside of Ramona, Calif.

The orchestra matched them in ethereal luster as a glossy violin solo, the ripple of a harp...
...available. No longer. Now longshoremen "badge in" at 7:30 a.m. at local hiring halls by inserting a plastic card into an IBM computer and lounge around for a while. By 9 a.m. the unlucky ones have gone to work; the others can go home to watch TV or moonlight on a second job-and still collect full base pay ($64 per day). That undemanding life is largely the result of a combination of two forces: the rise of container ships, which has greatly reduced the need for dock labor, and the success of the International Longshoremen's Association...
