...recommends Vail because "you can start at 10,000 ft. and get into the wooded areas, listen to the aspens creak as the trunks move back and forth, and enjoy the freedom and spectacular views." I'll probably never give up skiing, because shooting down a steep mountain is utterly thrilling. But I certainly plan to keep on snowshoeing...
...past couple of years, high-speed powerboats have begun making the run, smuggling human cargo in a matter of hours for thousands of dollars a head. (Some poor Cubans, who can't afford the steep price, pay their way with exotic birds captured in the forest and sold to the U.S. black market.) But most fleeing Cubans make the trip the old-fashioned way: in rickety craft with weak motors. A good trip takes 10 hours. A nightmare takes days. And for uncounted Cubans swept into the Atlantic during a storm, the journey is eternal. At least 60, including Elian...
...Ripley Under Water (1991)--trace a rake's progress from callow kid to elegant arriviste. "Wonderful to sit in a famous cafe," he thinks after his first murder, "and to think of tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow being Dickie Greenleaf!"

From Dickie's estate and from the profits of an art-forgery racket, Tom has an income that gives him the leisure to paint, garden...
...finally learning what it takes to make a decent cuppa. Gone are the days when it was O.K. to drop a bag in hot water and let it stew to a pulpy mess, creating an overbrewed, bitter cup. Each tea variation--green, oolong and black--requires a different steep time and water temperature. Real enthusiasts prefer loose tea strained through infusers, which makes for a stronger, finer brew. Still, there's no need to become Martha Stewart to make tea. "It's not about getting it right, but what you like," says Teaism owner Michelle Brown...
...Daft's biggest challenges, assuming that he takes office as CEO next April. In what seems to many analysts to be an ever desperate bid to increase revenues, one of Ivester's most recent moves was to hike the price of Coke's concentrate by a steep 7.7%. In effect, that represents a penalty for the company's cost-conscious bottling affiliates. In the past, Coke has offset such cost increases by funneling hundreds of millions of dollars in financial assistance to its key bottlers. But bottlers expressed outrage at last month's move, which they feel indicates Atlanta...
