...million worth of outdoor equipment and clothing last year, will open the doors of its 80,000-sq.-ft. flagship store in Seattle.

...ocean stubbornly held on to its mysteries for most of last week. It was especially uncooperative on Thursday for the men and women investigating the crash of TWA Flight 800.

...teens all over the world. The trips leave every three years, so that everyone will have a chance to travel at some point during high school. There is a German club and a Spanish club, and an environmental-science club scheduled to fly to Honduras to study the rain forest. The trips are not paid for by the school. Somehow the town parents have consistently bought enough bake-sale cookies, patronized enough car washes or simply laid out enough cash to buy Montoursville's kids a small slice of the wider world...
