...happiness is largely a matter of expectations, losing a job can be hardest, psychologically, on those who have the farthest to fall. Nathan Wolf had five degrees, 34 years of experience at IBM and a new career as a patent lawyer--or so he thought. Laid off by a law firm in Reston, Va., he finds it "embarrassing" to have to network. The job hunt is stressful, despite the support of his wife and five children.

Steep cliffs rise on each side of the river to snowcapped peaks and glaciers. The only sounds are of a waterfall spilling snowmelt into the river, the buzzing of insects in the afternoon...
...CRYING WOLF: Author Renee Askins lives in tiny Wilson, Wyoming (pop. 10,000), with four dogs, three parakeets, her husband, folk-singing legend Tom Rush, and their three-year-old daughter. The rugged Jackson Hole lifestyle suits Askins just fine. Her new book, "Shadow Mountain: A Memoir of Wolves, a Woman, and the Wild" (Doubleday) describes how she endured death threats and political attacks in her struggle to restore wolves to Yellowstone National Park.
