...then the cowboy Cary Grant and the low-rent Grace Kelly went to the Great Barrier Reef by helicopter - see you later, Amber, I got work to do - for a big lunch and a snorkel. And there amid the coral occurred a great, G-Rated Romance, Hollywood-style. (Fast-action "happiness montage" included.) They were destined to be together, you see, and besides we had a subplot to plumb: Jerri making her move (and her moves) on the king of the tribe that maybe needed a reason to keep her around. Very "To Catch a Thief," with maybe just...

I have scuba dived and snorkeled in close contact with several species of sharks, including many hundreds of schooling hammerheads and silvertip reef sharks, and have seen only fear, wariness, curiosity or indifference on the part of the sharks. They are beautiful, awesome creatures that are being decimated by shark finners and purse-seine factory ships. DAVID MCCULLOH Cupertino, Calif...
...kidding. Volusia is home to several species of reef sharks, including black tips and spinners, that are born in the spring and learn to hunt by summer. The sharks move close to shore, chasing baitfish as the water temperature warms up. "They get into the surf line and get disoriented, and they start biting whatever moves," says Joe Wooden, deputy chief of Volusia County's beach patrol...
