...away from the nearest cruiseship landing point. Customary transportation to Denali National Park in the Alaska range is by bus. Correctly figuring that most affluent U.S. tourists would rather take hookworm medicine than a bus, an outfit called Tour Alaska had the superior idea of buying several old domed railroad observation cars, built to take big spenders from Chicago to the West Coast in the '50s. These splendid arks, nicely refurbished and staffed with chefs and strolling musicians, now shuttle between Anchorage and Fairbanks every day as the Midnight Sun Express, stopping at Denali in mid-journey. Travelers sip champagne...

Woodlock in 2004, in response to outcry over the arrangements for protesters at the Democratic convention in Boston. At the time, the zone for protesters - a cordoned-off area under an abandoned railroad track topped by razor wire - was widely seen as affront to the spirit of free expression, but the court finally ruled that protesters had filed their objections too late to make changes to the security plan...

But that's a good thing; the storage wells would have...
...holes." There's a vehicle barrier south of the tiny town of Menninger's, but drug smugglers use hydraulic ramps to boost cars over for a quick dash into town. In the rolling pasturelands east of Nogales, the fence is a so-called Normandy barrier of crisscrossing railroad iron. Smugglers like to cut this fence with torches, then carefully put everything back in place so the border patrol won't notice. In parts of the sector there is still no fence at all. This includes a 28-mile (45 km) stretch near Sasabe where a multimillion-dollar pilot project...
