...whales, and they have been spending three months in Mexico each winter ever since. Sears does not surf when he's at home in Morro Bay, but in Baja he's the chairman of the beach, loving every moment, whether it's talking with the young guys on the sand or paddling out to carve some S-turns on a perfect glassy-faced wave. "Surfers would look at what I do at home and say it's a lack of commitment," he says. "But what I'm really committed to now is having a more well-rounded life than when...
...from the shore," he says. "A spotlight came on, and I looked up, and I could see buildings along the beach, and I could see a church, so I just really put my head down and dug, and all of a sudden I stroked my arm down and hit sand! We ran up on the beach, the two girls and I, and there were about a dozen French people there at 2:12 a.m. their time. We put our arms up in the air like Rocky and said, 'Praise God. God is great.' It was just surreal. Then we just...
...smiling. A little over a month since the waters retreated and then advanced with such deadly effect, Herman M?ller, 41, a truck driver from Germany, is sitting on Patong beach and having, he says, "a very nice holiday."

No “compromise” that would just mean slightly less liberal liberal legislation. Not a single Republican vote that could provide cover for Clinton’s deficit-cutting tax increase. And above all, No New Health Care—because guaranteed health care for the middle class might guarantee Democratic votes from the middle class...
Except there is no stage--anyway, not a stable floor. Instead, a void, out of which some ethereal miracles materialize. Many of them take place on two huge surfaces: a 1,250-sq.-ft., 175-ton slab (known as the sand-cliff deck) and a smaller one (the 900-sq.-ft., 40-ton tatami deck) that can simultaneously lift, rotate and tilt. Thus the actors must perform many of their maneuvers while the earth is literally moving under their feet. (If they fall off, there's a 60-ft. drop out of sight and onto an airbag.) Other scenes occur...
