...Fossil Fears. As encounters multiplied and perspective deepened, Jane found herself kicking pillows and hurling finger paint with the worst of them-and feeling, as a result, relieved of some fossil fears. On the whole, she recommends the treatment (at least to those who think they need it), but she also warns that successful therapy, in the Each-One, Touch-One tradition, can be almost more trouble than it's worth. Having learned with some difficulty to relax her lower face and let her mouth hang just a little open, she went to visit her family. "What...
Microbiologist Barry Commoner (TIME cover, Feb. 2) pleads for a complete overhaul of the "progress through technology" ethic. He calculates that the U.S. must completely revamp as much as one-third of its productive system-farming, mining, papermaking and fossil-fuel power generation, for example -to repair damage already done to the ecological system. Commoner figures that not only would the cost be high, but that production itself would suffer in the process. Most economists, on the other hand, contend that total economic output would hardly be changed, and they scoff at the idea that growth itself is the real...
...wreckers went to work, so did the fossil hunters. They hosed and washed more than 300 suspect stones, chipped at them with hammer and chisel and then examined every square inch of visible surface. By the second day, they had found two large blocks, weighing about 500 Ibs. each, that showed distinct fossil markings. Back in New Haven, Ostrom made precise measurements. Though the fossil bones still must be carefully removed from their brownstone encasement. Ostrom is now convinced that the long search is over. One of the visible bones, he says, is an almost sure match to half...

A few days later the center conceded that the "living fossil" was an ordinary whale...
...Wood and Frondel are analyzing the rock's chemical composition much as they would an earthbound rock's. Barghoorn will use an electron microscope to scan slivers of lunar rock for fossil...
