...track them and study their life cycle. Some condor protectionists objected. The birds, they argued, are extremely sensitive to human contact. A man standing 500 yds. away can keep a condor from its nest all day, and last year, when researchers attempted to weigh a two-month-old chick at its nesting site, the bird collapsed and died of shock and acute heart failure. Moreover, the California condor has yet to perform its mating ritual in a cage. Last month the state fish and game commission approved a more modest intervention: two birds to be radio-tagged and only three...
...music that has done the most to build the five-man European company into the world's most thriving jazz label ranges in style and quality from the vaulting improvisational rhapsodies of Keith Jarrett to the congenial jazz-rock fusion of Pat Metheny and the slick sketches of Chick Corea.

But by the time each hard-rocking set was half over, word had rippled back from the front rows to the poor souls clutching binoculars in the cheapest seats: the lead guitarist was former Boz Scaggs Musician...
...pasty goo, even street sweepers and water hoses seemed to be of little help. In Washington's agricultural Cowlitz County, the ash found its way into electrical transformers, causing short circuits and blackouts. In nearby Toledo, Wash., farmers feared that continued power outages would disrupt milking and leave chick en coops unheated during cold nights...
