...Larry King Live with his grandfather Bush and uncle Marvin Bush. "Doro was Miss Shy," said Barbara about her daughter Dorothy Koch. "But this time, she was all over the place," at caucuses, on television, and when protesters cried "murderer" and "killer," she soldiered on, once being taken in tow by a concerned New York City...
...With daylight fading, the officers have toiled for an hour to make the fishing vessel inoperable, securing the wheel and rudder and applying a tow line. Orange life vests are dispatched to the Indonesians (most of whom decide to use them as comfortable seats). While the small, unstable vessel pitches and rolls, the officers search for further evidence in the bilge water and interview the fishermen about their voyage.

Sharp says storm patterns have been relatively subdued in the past few years, but he thinks that when the next El Nino warming of the Pacific happens, adding 20% to 30% to the power of storms likely to impact prime surfing sites, surfers will...
...Switching into can-do mode, my wife and I sent Gabby a U.S. map with the route home marked in yellow and a list of rules: If you break down, call AAA on your cell phone and do not unlock your door for anyone but a policeman or the tow truck. Park as close as you can to the motel entrance and under the brightest lights. Don't speed. Don't drive when you're exhausted. Call us every 100 miles or every two hours, whichever comes first...
