Three years ago, the McGuanes moved out of Paradise Valley to their current spread near McLeod (pop. 5). In the cozy living room of his log-cabin house, McGuane throws another chunk of cottonwood on the fire as Laurie whips up a pot of hearty chicken soup in the kitchen.

Since 1985, Margaret Geller and John Huchra have been meticulously crafting a three-dimensional map that charts the positions of thousands of galaxies.

And -- hallelujah! -- the river, which most New Yorkers rarely glimpse, has been given back to the people, as Battery Park City embraces the wide and wonderful Hudson. The shore has been beribboned by a sculpture-studded esplanade, a mile-long stroll leading to the South Cove. There, grasses and boulders are untamed...
