In recent months, joint ventures between U.S. and Japanese chipmakers have multiplied at such a rate that it is getting hard to tell where one country's interests end and the other's begin...

Tree surgeons at the El San Juan are nursing the trademark poolside banyan tree back to life; the hotel...
Nature, however, may not repair so quickly. Tourists venturing east toward El Yunque, the only tropical rain forest in the U.S. National Forest System, will see the destruction firsthand. The 40-ft. leafy cathedral that vaulted over the roads is now open to the sun, and once lush reaches of forest are bare, broken and brown.
