...This two-story wall of water, often just as thick as it is tall, has battered and broken countless professional surfers and killed at least one of them. When the wave closes out, it looks as though the entire Pacific Ocean is trying to stomp onto the shallow coral reef below. It is terrifying to watch, insane to surf--and Keala Kennelly's favorite spot...
...another way that faces tell the story. You have to lean closer, look carefully into the eyes, study the set of the jaw and the tilt of the head. I recognized more than the famous visage of Heston when I saw his taped announcement. I saw the first shallow waves of a cruel disease lapping at the edges of the person he has always known himself to be. I recognized it because I saw the same look in my father's eyes eight years...
...With its shallow waters and shifting sands, Cape Cod has long been a graveyard for both man and whale, especially pilot whales. In this treacherous terrain, the whales' critical echolocation system--those telltale clicks whales depend on for everything from avoiding predators to finding a mate--can easily become confused. Yet even after years of studying these big-brained creatures, scientists admit that's only an informed guess and doesn't explain groundings elsewhere. "I could give you an unlimited number of scenarios," says veteran Smithsonian cetologist James Mead, "and because we know so little about whale biology...

...complete. Other wounds will take longer to heal. Muslims and Croats still lead separate lives in Mostar, but the project does at least represent a small ray of hope. Emir Balic, 67, a diver who leapt more than 1,000 times from the top of the span into the shallow waters as part of an annual competition, says he now plans to do so one more time: "People will at least gather around the bridge and talk again," he says. "Time will help us reconcile." The new bridge has been designed as an exact replica of the span erected...
