The great white shark story ("The Devil's Teeth") is online at SI.com, but it's a little tricky to reach.

His name was Edward Von Kloberg III, and he leapt to his death yesterday at the age of sixty-three. He led a pretty fascinating life, more complex than it would first appear, and the article is pretty fascinating reading. Here's the link:
