...initial reforms, in any case, did not satisfy the opposition. "Dialogue is not the main course, it is just the appetizer," proclaimed Jens Reich, a molecular biologist and leader of New Forum, the major dissident organization. Founded only in September, it claims 200,000 adherents and has just been recognized by the government, which originally declared it illegal. The opposition pledged to keep up the pressure for a free press, free elections and a new constitution stripped of the clause granting the Communist Party a monopoly on power...
...Monitor story told of a local farmer who had been pestered by bears getting into his feed corn. Had to shoot two last year, he said. A fish-and- game-commission biologist said, "Rather than have farmers kill the bears, we would rather have sportsmen utilize the resource." You get used to blood- sport bureaucratese; "utilize,"or "harvest," is what you do when you get something fuzzy and four-footed in your sights.

"We are not enemies of the German Democratic Republic or a threat to anyone," says Jens Reich, a molecular biologist who helped found New Forum.

...Barbara, the tuba player, tell of a surprise visit by Groucho Marx. "After one of Woody's solos," says Barbara, "Groucho reached up and handed him a few pennies as a tip." Psychiatrist Ron Brady, a friend of Woody's, recalls the time a man claiming to be a biologist walked into Michael's and asked Woody for a skin sample. "He said he was working on a clone...
...efforts to ameliorate the eyesores their mining operations have created. The Pinson Mine on the Getchell Trend, in which Livermore has an interest, is actively transforming waste-rock dumps into gently rolling hills planted with sagebrush, bitterbrush and crested wheat. Freeport-McMoRan, for its part, has hired a wildlife biologist to take charge of its reclamation activities. It has laid ambitious plans to hide its footprints by recontouring and reseeding old exploration roads, waste dumps and leaching heaps...
