...weather. "The snowpack is 120% of normal, and the temperatures we are seeing now are...unusual," she says. The rangers have not been up in the high country since last fall. On our next morning we start hiking up the Wendover Ridge, the route that Toby eventually recovered. The narrow trail leads through cedars and Douglas firs, and we pass clumps of bear grass, huckleberry bushes, dogtooth violets and carpets of wild strawberry plants in the clearings. The smell of wild licorice is on the air. But the going is tough. "The road as bad as it can possibly...
There are some bare patches on the southern slope, and white phlox flowers are already in bloom. Bees are at work on them. The season is short here; by September the snow will start again. The window of survival is very narrow on the Lolo. It nearly slammed shut on Lewis and Clark. We add a few more rocks to the cairns and take our leave...
...Nelly's world view can be gleaned from listening to his 2000 breakout hit, Country Grammar: "You can find me, in St. Louis rollin' on dubs/Smokin' them dubs in clubs, blowin' up like cocoa puff." Nelly loves his hometown. Nelly loves pot. Nelly loves Nelly.

Farther down, giant sea turtles graze on the marine foliage, and manta rays the size of tabletops pass below. At 30 meters the narrow, vertical frame of a two meter-long napoleon wrasse slices through the water in search of prey, while barracuda, flashing their vicious teeth, swim by alongside the occasional eel. Each successive layer of marine life draws the diver deeper. The only risk: running out of air before...
...their computer screens? That is what the World Rally Championship (WRC) is hoping for. Rallying is an enormously popular sport. In 14 countries across four continents around 10 million fans go out and watch some of the best drivers in the world racing full pelt for three days over narrow, twisting public roads. But because of the distances involved in following the race, television coverage of the sport even as recently as five years ago consisted of week-old footage. Since David Richards' company, International Sportsworld Communicators (ISC), bought the TV and commercial rights to the WRC two years...
