Travel stories will take you to an Indian tribe living on the bottom of the Grand Canyon; cruises to Alaska and Mexico; journeys to a secluded paradise in Norway, the Sea of Galilee and a soda-water town in Colorado. Read about a satanist who inflicted critical injury on a person she hated, and the love a Mexican peasant had for his people and the hundreds he helped to find God. Figure out how long you will live. The lead-off story tells how a homeless dog bonded with a crushed man to help him overcome his life's biggest hurdle. And, of course, the fish that outsmarts both man and other fish.
