...they hang out and fool around, rather like human teenagers. Then five more bears stroll out of the forest--a female with a golden cub and another mother with two cubs. The mothers nurse the 18-month-old cubs and scoop up some of the hundreds of thousands of salmon on their way up the inlet to spawn and die. Then another bear appears, followed by tiny triplets. This excites my guide, Owen Nevin, a Utah State University doctoral student whose subject is inlet bears, even more than it does me. It's unusual, he explains, for anyone...

...grizzlies in North America. Up to three times as many live here as in all the U.S. Not only can I commune (at a safe distance) with the bears; I can get amazingly close to orcas, bald eagles, ospreys, sea otters and seals.

Wall Street's battalion of corporate sleuths has rarely been more in focus. Many of them make upwards of $1 million annually, some for doing little more than repeating the cheery stuff they hear over smoked salmon and white asparagus in the executive dining rooms of the companies they follow. They are so conflicted they almost never advise selling a stock, resorting to code to tip off clients when things aren't on track.
