...family Rallidae, including rails, coots and gallinules. No matter. It is impossible to be disappointed by this handsome book. Smithsonian Institution Secretary S. Dillon Ripley has brought his ornithological expertise and years of patient watching to bear on these elusive creatures. The 41 color paintings by J. Fenwick Lansdowne are reproduced so sharply that light seems to glance off eyes and feathers. Ripley furnishes all the required taxonomy for experts-and some doleful news for everyone.

"It's unbelievable that Chicago's O'Hare Airport goes to about one-half capacity when IFR [instrument-flight-rules] weather moves in," says Dr. Charles Fenwick, an engineering executive at Collins Radio, a leading manufacturer of R-Nav equipment. "And that's in a world that can land men on the moon...
Most grotesque was Roy Bracher, who wore steel-reinforced wings, a bird mask, flippers with claws painted on them, and feathery strips of cloth sewn onto his Mickey Mouse T shirt. Stephen Crouch, dressed as a witch, launched himself on a broomstick. Both plummeted into the water. David Fenwick, a country club owner, sported the most substantial pair of wings: they were 30 feet across, made of spinnaker nylon and spruce and weighed 60 lbs. Fenwick fell like a stone...
