This rising fascination is more popular than theological, a grass-roots revolution of the spirit in which all sorts of people are finding all sorts of reasons to seek answers about angels for the first time in their lives. Just what is their nature? Why do they appear to some people and not to others? Do people turn into angels when they die? What role do they play in heaven and on earth? While the questions have the press of novelty, they are as old as civilization, for the idea of angels has hovered about us for ages...
...year: the author, a fine watercolor artist, follows a little Zimbabwean girl as she wakes up at dawn and walks miles through forests and grasslands to her school. Small children can have fun finding Manyoni's tiny figure in a grove of fig trees or waist-deep in riverside grass; older kids can learn to spot the civet cat, the yellow hornbill and the impalas, kudus and wildebeests she passes.

Which is why mining-industry money has watered the grass roots of pro-development "wise use" groups such as People for the West. And why David Rovig, until recently president of Crown Butte, the outfit that has Yellowstone in its sights, solicited $1,000 contributions for Rahall's 1992 election opponent. Rahall won, but there is no certainty that his mining reform...
