...several years to re-create, commemorate and just plain profit from the first and greatest American off-road trip. From the Falls of the Ohio, where a festival will celebrate the place at which Clark climbed aboard Lewis' keelboat, all the way west to tiny Fort Clatsop, Ore., where visitors will chat with Lewis and Clark impersonators, the roadside plaques are already being engraved, the campsites cleared and the motel rooms painted. Whether one's interest in following Lewis and Clark centers on geography, natural history, Native Americans or the simple pleasure of eating a cheeseburger on the same spot...
...case seems to echo so many others this year. Two girls--both 13--from the same apartment complex in Oregon City, Ore., were abducted on their way to the bus stop, one in January, one in March.

...church, along with his family, has always been at the center of Reichert's life. "I can't imagine going through life without faith," he says.

Two Kings, two Washingtons. "That was really an in-your-face kind of thing," says Reichert. "It was like, 'Are you guys so stupid you can't make the connection...
...strategies multiplied, and traders were rewarded for coming up with new ones. "You always wanted to stay one step ahead of everyone else," says Stan Cocke, who worked as a power trader pulling 12-hr. shifts in Enron's Portland, Ore., office in 2000 and 2001. "Folks were quick to catch on. People were getting more savvy. We were definitely encouraged to be innovative, to be aggressive." Once a trader found a formula that worked, he or she would send an e-mail around the office, and staff members would toss around proposed nicknames for the idea until one stuck...
