...wild-and-crazy guy whose grandfather had co-founded Scripps-Howard Newspapers, Howard recruited smart, aggressive talent throughout the 1970s and let it loose to dig up dirt, badger Denver's cowboy-booted establishment and raise journalistic hell. Occasional newsroom gunplay and rampant staff drug use aside, those Hunter Thompson-like efforts paid off: the Rocky topped the Post's circulation in 1980. (Read "How to Save Your Newspaper...
...walks in the door. The unorthodox surfaces quite regularly, as jugglers, actors, and mimes grace—or shame—the stage. Even nudity makes appearances; while some performers tamely sing their covers or recite their original poetry, others are long on words and short on clothing. These wild performers have been known to shed their garb for their art, which calls for nudity... just because.Whatever the routine, no one is merely a member of the audience.

...huge and wild Big Island of Hawaii is made up of roughly 4,000 square miles (10,000 sq km) and about a dozen microclimates (including one that generates winter snow), and has about 37 inhabitants per square mile. Not one but five of Pele's volcanoes reside on the island, and one of them, Kilauea, has been continuously erupting since 1983 from a vent known as Pu'u 'O'o. World-class resorts and beaches with black, white or green sand abound, but the real draw for thousands of travelers are the lava spurts and cascades themselves. Visitors drive...
