...subsidies aimed at low-income home buyers. But the bulk of the tax benefits flow to the upper end of the income spectrum. And to the coasts as well: a study by two Wharton School economists found that homeowners in high-priced regions in California and on the Eastern seaboard suck up most of the gains...
...they have for most of the past 87 years, hundreds of children from across the Eastern seaboard of the U.S. arrived in June at Camp Modin in Belgrade, Maine, carrying flip-flops, sleeping bags and swimsuits. But they also carried something new. First there was one fever, then six, then nine campers fell ill in a single day.

The Federal Government named the A.T. a National Scenic Trail in 1968, and today the full length - almost...
...early-March snowstorm that creamed the Eastern seaboard largely missed Vermont's big skiing areas. But resort operators were delighted nevertheless, because the storm whetted the appetite of all those coastal skiers. The industry calls it the "backyard syndrome," and it can either feed or starve the sport in a given year. The backyard syndrome stipulates that if you can't see snow in your backyard, you won't think of going skiing, whatever the economy. If the flakes are falling, however, you'll get silly for the slopes. "Snow makes skiers act irrationally," says Ralf Garrison, director...
