Those who have made an ascent -whether to the top of the Matterhorn or to the less rarefied heights of a 1,000-ft. peak in their nearest state park-are likely to agree with Jerome's paeans to the joys of topography. "Wonder and delight await, up there," he says. So does "elbowroom for the soul." Even those who have never left sea level will enjoy the au thor's lofty musings. Jerome points out that a range like the Himalayas is still growing (Everest may be more than a foot harder to climb in a hundred...
...television ether ripples with old, older and oldest movies. A good evening at home starts with a rapid scan of the good old New York Times T.V. section for cinematic gems and ends in the wee hours while I chew on unexploded popcorn kernels and await the closing credits.

Many teams carry a diminutive run-back specialist on their rosters. As fearless as they are frail-looking, they await the ball amid the growing thunder of approaching tacklers. Momentarily obscured by a wall of blockers, they duck toward the sidelines in a suicidal dash toward glory. Johnson, who is the only N.F.L. player to return both a kick and punt for touchdowns this season, views his tiny stature...
