...tour for Giada's Family Dinners, her second best seller in two years. On the day I joined the tour in the Bay Area last month, more than 1,200 people waited in line for up to three hours to see her.

He leaped at Angela's offer to fish together at the Salmon Falls Resort in Ketchikan, Alaska. She picked...
...environment. But it's not clear what you do with a bear that's already in captivity. Animal-rights activists have long complained about the highly ritualized, seemingly neurotic behavior of Gus, the polar bear in New York City's Central Park Zoo. "Though Gus is perfectly healthy, people tell us to send him back," says Alison Powers, communications director of the Wildlife Conservation Society, Central Park's parent institution.
