...perilous sea passages on earth, and then north to Ghana, ending his odyssey beneath the cliffs of Accra. The historic evidence for Indonesian contact with West Africa is shaky, as Beale readily concedes. The case relies largely upon striking similarities in traditional African and Indonesian music. The Madagascar-Ghana portion of the trip is thus at once the most daring and speculative of the expedition. Beale explains: "Academics pose questions such as, 'Could the ancient Indonesians have done this or that?' If we succeed, it won't prove they did it, but then no one can say they couldn...
PacSun stores are located almost exclusively in suburban malls. A good portion of customers, like Brentlinger, don't live anywhere near a large body of water. But that has not diminished the appeal of PacSun's surfwear. Thanks to MTV and movies like Blue Crush, kids from Alaska to Alabama are eager to look as if they spend the day with sand between their toes.

Even the exhibit's 121 paintings and drawings - assembled from museums and private collections in Europe and the U.S. - represent only a minuscule portion of Klee's prodigious output in his final years.

"I can hardly keep...
...well for long. I was appalled at the controversial, risky stocks that began popping up in the stock portion of my account. (Do Tyco and WorldCom ring a bell?) I opted out of this part of the portfolio and requested more input into the selection of my fixed-income investments. Then the unthinkable happened. I was dropped! I was told that our relationship wasn't "philosophically consistent." Actually, I think I asked too many questions--like, What is this extra $50,000 doing in my account? In any event, it was a humbling experience. As a friend...
