...front door. Larson, clad usually in T shirt, jeans and running shoes, carries sketchbooks wherever he goes, doodling and jotting down phrases. But the hard labor takes place at the drawing board overlooking Union Bay, where he sits and stares, and stares and sits, until the ideas flow. "A strange juxtaposing of things takes place that I don't understand," says Larson. "It just happens." When it is not happening, he stops to strum his guitar; sometimes he works until 3 a.m. to meet a deadline...
...Swiss authorities said, or the current may wash it farther downstream. "The Rhine will be dead for years to come," said Professor Ragnar Kinzelbach of the Technical University in Darmstadt, West Germany. Although locks and floodgates were closed to protect many of the river's tributaries from the poisonous flow, other waterways appear threatened.

That touch of prosperity, according to Customs Agent D'Wayne Jernigan, has "created a wall of reluctance to cooperate." Agrees local Chemist Benito Trevino: "There's no outcry because...
...some University officials have charged, analogous in any way to Accuracy in Academia. That right-wing organization sought to "infiltrate" college lecture halls and report on professors preaching "subversive" ideas. Nader's group, on the other hand, hopes to encourage--in Nader's words--the free "flow of information" and "healthy discussion" on campus...
