...even that,'' said Clark, who came from Montana 14 years ago and thus qualifies as an old Alaska hand. Tourists in Alaska become old hands quickly, but at first view it is not merely whales and glaciers and steaming volcanoes that are marvels. The tiny single-engine floatplanes and ski-planes themselves, the delivery vans and taxis of the roadless north, are just as scary and exotic. They seem as unsubstantial as bicycles, all wires and struts. Wedge yourself into the right-hand front seat next to the pilot, and you may discover that you have a fully operable wheel...
...recent weeks, Pakistan, one of the world's most dangerous countries, has been further shaken by, of all people, a bus driver, a ski-lift operator and a gym rat.

But as Spain discovered in its difficult - and difficult to watch - 4-2 penalty kick shootout win in the quarter-finals of Euro 2008, trying to get past an Italian team committed to a defensive scheme is like playing in ski boots filled with linguini carbonara. The pace slows. Every passing lane seems clogged, and there are more defenders in the penalty area than pawns on a chess board...
