...novel so great that I cannot put it down. I made it through a hundred and fifty pages of “War and Peace.” I called it quits on “Moby Dick” after the sixth chapter on the subtle complexities of whale oil. “Wuthering Heights” withered after seventy pages. “Gravity’s Rainbow” only lasted nine. I’ve accumulated a pretty impressive list of books that I’ve stopped reading. In fact, my growing catalog rivals many...
After four days of instruction and diving, my roommate and I were dubbed licensed open-water scuba divers. We explored the coral reefs of Utila, searching for the elusive local whale sharks. To our dismay, no whale sharks were found, and sea turtles and barracudas had to suffice...
...obvious precursor to the arabesques of the TWA terminal, Ingalls represents Saarinen at his most voluptuous, with a roofline forming a gentle curve that swells in the middle, then dips and rises at both ends like the prow of a ship, or two prows. Yalies call it the Whale.

In a 2008 Whale Wars episode that some critics have said was faked, Watson is apparently shot in the chest by whalers; viewers watch an assistant remove the remains of a bullet from Watson's Kevlar vest. After Sea Shepherd purchased a small submarine in 1994, the Canadian navy said it would be too dangerous...
...remains to be determined who is really at fault in this week's incident, but one thing is sure: the so-called whale war is not over. Watson's bluster and aggressive tactics may have earned Sea Shepherd a reality television show (and a parody on South Park), but its high-profile approach has also helped the organization get charitable donations from major Hollywood players. Though Japan's ICR claims that almost half of the International Whaling Commission's members support sustainable whaling, right now only Japan, Norway and Iceland hunt whales in significant numbers. Even with the loss...
