...Main Street consumers to keep the economy above water. Which would be a much more attractive bet if it didn?t mean that then they didn?t have to keep spending - even more furiously, if possible - just to keep that demand carrot under corporate America?s nose...
...lift me right out of the water. It was on my leg, I could see my femur, there was blood in the water--I knew then it was pretty serious," says Yerby, who was 29 at the time of the August 1997 attack. He hit the shark on the nose (the prescribed last-ditch defense, along with ripping at its gills), managed to get back on his board, and with his surfing buddy, paddled back to shore.

...Late in the day we hike up a steep ascent into the quiet shadows of a stand of pines. The name of the path?Leading the Ox Up By Its Nose?exactly describes the gradient. A statue of Kannon with a horse's head commemorates the pack animals whom no amount of nasal persuasion could keep from collapse. That night we stay in Hosokute at a wooden inn, last rebuilt in 1880. Swallows nest inside the doorway, as they have for generations. The floor flexes under our feet as we step gingerly across knotholes and gaps in the boards...
