...cutting simply are not accounted for," says Morrison. In the Olympic National Forest below us, only 106,000 acres remain of the 217,000 claimed by the Forest Service. In Oregon's Siskiyou, 142,000 acres remain of a claimed 433,000. Much of what was still uncut was broken into tracts too small to serve as habitats for those species -- the spotted owl, for instance -- whose presence indicates a healthy old-growth forest ecology. In some areas, the remaining old forest, that continent of trees that colonists began cutting in Virginia in the 17th century, will last only about...
Pretty pathetic creature. He hides out at the local bar and tries to forget his troubles by downing shot after shot of whiskey. When he finally seeks help for his woes, it is not A.A. he calls but another broken soul who has sipped himself into a perpetual stupor. So what do you think? Is Roger Rabbit an alcoholic...
Just such imagination, vividly expressed, is what brought Phillips the artistic directorship in 1975, when he was 32, and the same qualities made him the front runner to succeed Neville.

For the moment, however, the team of Neville and Phillips has made Stratford not only the biggest theater in North America but one of the very best...
Which is not to say Hayes and Nicklaus never sweated. But if perspiration could be qualified, broken down and quantified, the Olympian probably distills the purest athletic effort by the drop. The most arcane sports, which include many of the Olympic events, are nearly always learned late and hard, in the U.S. after playing baseball and football for a while. Speed does come naturally to the beautiful racehorses of the running track, like Florence Griffith Joyner, though at the world-class level science kicks in and a specialized knowledge is required. Hobbled running backs reach uncertainly for their hamstrings...
Ecophobia, as the mood might be called, has not been induced by the hot spell alone, even though many places have scored the heat the worst in history. Chicago reported an unprecedented number of 100 degrees days, and temperature records have been broken in New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon and Washington. Stifling heat made it easy for an all too varied constellation of environmental disasters to mobilize popular anxiety. Consider some of the summer's invitations to fret...
