After the corps returned, all the men received double pay and land grants from a grateful Congress--except, of course, York. He apparently thought that in lieu of all that, his pay might be...his freedom? Clark, who had settled in St. Louis, reacted badly. He allowed York to return temporarily to Louisville to rejoin his wife, who had a different master. But Clark wrote to his brother Jonathan, "if any attempt is made by york to run off, or refuse to provorm his duty as a Slave, I wish him Sent to New Orleans and Sold, or hired...
Today the view is still as breathtaking--little has changed here in 200 years, except the cairns. Last August vandals threw half the rocks from the three 4-ft.-high cairns down the mountainside. Fairchild found the damage on a trek with eight clients, and they spent time retrieving some of the stones and rebuilding the cairns. "What type of person would do this? Search me," he says...
...Arctic village of Igloolik live two brothers: Amaqjuaq (Pakkak Innukshuk), the strong one, and Atanarjuat (Natar Ungalaaq), the speedy one.

Unlike the terminals at Atlanta's Hartsfield, which has a similar layout, Denver's are so far apart-to give the planes more space to taxi-that passengers cannot walk between terminals...
...French are very different from you and me. Except for former Vivendi Universal chair Jean-Marie Messier. He wanted to be just like a high-flying American CEO, and that (along, of course, with a 70 percent drop in the price of the company's stock since the beginning of this year) is what got him in trouble with his board and the French people. His forced resignation Tuesday sent shock waves throughout markets on both sides of the Atlantic. Shares in Vivendi fell as much as 40 percent on the Paris Stock Exchange that day as Le Monde questioned...
