...minute lesson, even novices can go faster than they could in a canoe. New activities like kayak fishing, in which fishers explore narrow creeks and waterways in specialized boats with more legroom, have helped boost sales. And Wenonah's Current Designs line features smaller vessels that are easier for shorter adults to control. Most kayaks are still made of plastic, but some newer ones, like the $3,350 Suka, come in stronger, lightweight Kevlar, which can shave up to 20% off the total weight...

But without a second hand to guide the club, they find their backswings are often shorter, their follow-throughs a little wilder.

The shorter second movement, reminiscent of opera, evoked a sense of tragedy. Where Goto’s violin used to be light, melancholy began to weigh down on the instrument.In the third movement—Allegro spirituoso—Goto leaped back into his element, holding the audience on edge with every...
...really. Because I think that's misdirected. In films you can do outrageous stuff, because hey, you can't argue with it; there it is. But I don't know. There's lots of stuff that you would like to do, you know. As your future gets shorter, you have...
