...Miss Delegation. Director Steven Antler (Columbia Law '64), who runs the council's Manhattan office, is presiding over no one-shot summer project. This winter, from Harvard to Stanford, council members churned out research on subjects ranging from rent laws to de facto school segregation. University of Colorado law students aim to start council-sponsored research for the pur pose of encouraging more lawyers to defend Spanish Americans. In Washington, D.C., students from 20 law schools attended a council-run conference on "law and indigency," urged a sharp expansion in lawyers' services for the poor...
British scientists are also collecting antlers, especially from the Scottish Isles, whose damp green hills are apt to be relatively rich in fallout material dumped on them by Scotland's heavy rains. In this week's Nature two scientists from Glasgow's Royal College of Science and Technology report on an antler taken on the Island of Islay in 1957. It proved to have 126 micromicrocuries of strontium radioactivity per gram of calcium. A cross section cut from it and laid on X-ray film for 82 days gave off enough atomic radiation to take a sharp...
Reynolds' stubby hands turn huge trees into strange antler-like fans, fill his canvas with marsh reeds as gaunt and glittering spikes, and dandelions as wildly dancing figures-all in deep green, creamy white, swirls of rich brown, red and yellow. Sometimes he takes the other tack, drains his canvas of color then his moonlight scenes become spooky tangles of waving hop vines, brush piles and squat, triangular chicken houses...
This year, the girl, who listens to the tipsters will come up with a gift-wrapped riding crop with handle made of deer-antler, lash of red leather, and ferrule of silver--if she doesn't fetch home something worse. Something worse is apt to be a wicker basket filled with small cakes and scented soap, each wrapped in chamois; Somaliland leopard and suede slippers, a nylon umbrella with an imported handle, or a book titled "Sporting Architecture...
Stimulated by this thick overburden (hinting at great age), the archeologists attacked the bluff with dynamite and a bulldozer. By fall they had uncovered stone, bone and antler artifacts (prehistoric scrap pile), and bones of extinct animals (prehistoric garbage dump). They found no human remains, but obviously ancient man had fancied the spot for a long time, chipping his crude weapons and tossing gnawed bones over his muscular shoulder...
