...each walking stick for $1.95, with a suggested retail price of $3.99. The alternative-vehicle regatta, now in its fifth year, is never far from its sponsor's thoughts. Every June, at MacArthur's urging, riders on two, three or four wheels - variously powered by electricity, methane, charcoal, chicken fat or even sewer gas - race 6,288 ft. to the top of Mount Washington...
...their Frisbees, getting one toke over the line and window-shopping the small army of pushcart food vendors already in business. There are shishkebab carts, doughnut-and-apple-juice carts, organic-bread carts and, later, one kimono-clad Occidental mixing onions, ground beef, celery and sweet peppers in a charcoal-fired wok (yummy). Suddenly, from behind a 20-ft.-high wall of amplifiers, one of the six bands strikes up "Keep on rockin' me, baby," rattling windows and dental work blocks away.

This dating game has its drawbacks: it requires the destruction of a sizable portion of the sample and cannot, without costly and time-consuming treatment, determine the age of any object more than about 40,000 years old. But a new method promises to overcome both obstacles. A team of researchers from the University of Rochester, the University of Toronto and General lonex Corp. of Ipswich, Mass., is developing a way of dating objects that...
