...substantial land-for-peace trade with Syria, Barak offered a peace agreement based on United Nations resolutions recognizing Syrian sovereignty over the disputed Golan Heights. He also repeated his campaign pledge to get Israeli forces out of Lebanon within a year. And Barak vowed to implement the Wye River agreement signed - and then suspended ? by his predecessor, Benjamin Netanyahu. But in a sign of possible tensions looming down the road, he also affirmed Israel?s demand for undivided sovereignty over Jerusalem, and there was no mention of ending Jewish settlement in the West Bank...
...with child-care facilities and supervised children's activities, grandparents don't have to entertain the children all the time. Some lines offer incentives for these two generations to travel together, with no charge or deep discounts for children during certain seasons. Regal China Cruises, which travels the Yangtze River, is offering a 30% discount for grandparents traveling with grandchildren this summer. The line already has a 50% discount for children ages 2 to 12. All told, that translates to a savings of from...
...tribe's home: the Everglades. An 18,000-sq.-mi. expanse of shimmering water, waving sawgrass and emerald tree hammocks, it is one of America's most vital but abused natural treasures.

They've always known that the Everglades is as essential as a blood supply--a knee-deep sheet of water that rolls half a mile a day, from the Kissimmee River to Florida Bay, sustaining life in marshes, coral reefs and cities. But a half-century ago, everyone else deemed it a mosquito-infested alligator swamp that was in the way of sugar fields and pink ranch houses. So the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built canals and levees to drain, rechannel--and utterly trash--eons...
...years since his suicide on July 2, 1961, Ernest Hemingway has had more books come out under his name than he managed to turn out during the last two decades of his life. Over that latter span, he published only Across the River and Into the Trees (1950) and The Old Man and the Sea (1952). Thanks to the piles of manuscripts, in varying stages of completion, that he left behind for his estate to ponder, four new Hemingways appeared after his death: A Moveable Feast (1964), Islands in the Stream (1970), The Dangerous Summer (1985) and The Garden...
