...rest." So said Knut Rasmussen, the Dane who explored Greenland in the early 20th century. If you, like Rasmussen, feel the call of the wild, consider driving your own canine crew on holiday: one afternoon managing the tangle of tugging harnesses and sled brakes as the huskies yelp and yowl, and you may never get back in your car. The dogs can run up to 5,000 km in a season, often through snow crystals at -25?C. "There is a strong feeling of being dependent on the small but incredibly strong huskies to reach our goals each day," says...

(Was Jack Benny really stingy? Is Pee-wee Herman really a goony child?) Bruce said what he thought; Clay says what his character thinks. So Clay and other entertainers on the edge are playing...
...bleak, brown plains of Mexico's Rio Grande valley, drug smuggling is nearly as common as a coyote's yowl. Thus Mexican police were not all that surprised last week when a search of a cattle ranch 20 miles outside the town of Matamoros turned up 75 lbs. of marijuana. But the investigation took a darker turn when the authorities showed the ranch's caretaker a photo of Mark Kilroy, 21, a University of Texas senior who had vanished a month...
