Many perfectly legitimate problems have delayed construction of the mighty Dickey-Lincoln dam, a $690.3 million hydroelectric project on the St. John River in northern Maine. Among them: lack of money, environmental protests that it would flood a wilderness area and doubts about the benefit it would bring. But one threat to the project was a problem that seemed downright silly: the discovery of a few clumps of a greenish-yellow wild flower called the Furbish lousewort growing near the dam site. Because the plant, named for Botanist Kate Furbish, was not known to exist anywhere else, the dam location...
...John River to see if the fearsome Furbish could be found elsewhere. Now the engineers have proudly announced the discovery of no fewer than five clumps of louseworts safely beyond the proposed dam site. What is more, they claim, the exotic flower can be cultivated elsewhere. Although the Dickey-Lincoln project, first authorized by Congress in 1965, still has other hurdles to clear before construction begins, the lousewort no longer appears to be an obstacle in its path...

The Allman Brothers Band may have broken up, mostly over the drug and marital problems of Lead Vocalist Gregg Allman, but its brand of bluesy Southern rock lives on with Betts & Co. Betts, whose song writing and soaring guitar solos helped gun the Allman band's engine, keeps his foot to the floor with his new group's debut album.

What a classic your article the "Dammed Lousewort" [April 11] was! Imagine the gall of this preposterous plant to halt the construction of a "$668 million hydroelectric project" like the Dickey-Lincoln Dam in Maine. For heaven's sake, the species was thought extinct anyway-let's make it official and drown it under a few billion gallons of water. All this endangered-species-list bit is getting boring...
...found similar lack of difference in MMPI scores nine years later. Mark Freedman reported similar outcomes in lesbian response to the Eysenck Personality Inventory. Using similar personality measures, Siegelman (1972) found no significant differences, and C.G. Watson found no evidence for the paranoia hypothesis in homosexuality. Research by Brenda Dickey found the sexual role-conflict model to be unsubstantiated...
