At 50, Rockefeller's island luxury resort remains a shore thing

Waves of heat yawn from the blacktop. On either side, fields of rock, ebony and ashen, are interrupted only by wan scrub or a long-charred tree stump, oxidized by the salt air to an eerie copper. The oft-snowcapped peak of Mauna Kea looks incongruous in the distance, the now-icy volcano from which all this scorched earth came.
