  1. It's worth stopping along California 99

    Call it the accidental road trip. Looking for a less monotonous route home from Northern California last summer, my family and I took California 99 south from Sacramento to Bakersfield and picked up Interstate 5 from there. It took a little longer, but the four-lane road's calming landscape and quirky attractions left us pleasantly surprised and prolonged our vacation buzz.

The furor underscored an important point: that literature plays a fundamental role in defining a country's culture and its discourse.

  3. Genealogy class sprouts tale of Great Migration

    When Isabel Wilkerson thought of writing about the Great Migration, the movement of the 6 million black Americans who left the Jim Crow South for the North and West between World War I and the 1970s, one of the first places she headed was Chicago's Newberry Library for a genealogy class. She embarked on this project a decade ago when she was a Pulitzer Prize-winning bureau chief for The New York Times.

  8. Thirty years later, Baltimore's aquarium has left a nationwide legacy

    Tiger sharks glided swift and smooth, moray eels darted into submerged caves and, in a full-blown rain forest re-created indoors, leafy and humid, tropical birds flitted past tamarin monkeys.

  12. Tom Morello keeps punk-rock spirit of Woody Guthrie alive

    Tom Morello says he rarely gets nervous anymore before he performs, in part because he&rsquo;s done just about everything from rocking stadiums with Rage Against the Machine to participating in protest rallies around the world as a guitar-thrashing activist. But he does admit to feeling a little jumpy whenever he plays with Bruce Springsteen, as he did a few weeks ago at the South by Southwest Music Conference in Austin, Texas.
