...travelers. The recorded voice at the start of the adventure encourages you to "Grow eyes!"; there are dozens of shy creatures--Waldo-beasts, if you will--waiting to be discovered by the visitor who is visually acute. Look hard for the gray elephant trying to tuck herself behind the grayish rock. Flick a peek to one side and catch a pair of two-ton white rhinos who seem to have sleepy-mean eyes to butt the tram (hatari!). And don't miss the gawky East African crowned cranes off to the right. The driver turns on a radio, a sweet...
Setting: A dimly-lit courtroom. Only four people are present. The judge, a grizzly-looking octogenarian who scowls over his spectacles, swirling his grayish hair about his face; the prosecuting attorney, a carefully groomed elderly gentleman in a dark suit and briefcase; the defense attorney, a young, hot-shot legal rookie with his hair slicked back and Calvin Klein frames on his chiseled face; behind him silently sits a person whose gender, race and age are hidden by the lack of light...
...lost when he drives around Parker, Colorado. And he's not from out of town--he's the mayor. Once a bedroom community, Parker is bursting with new streets and new residents--and is afflicted with a new sense of dislocation.

Seven computers are in use, each surrounded by a clutch of students murmuring in continual discussion of their work. The place is littered with 13 1/2-in. square Palomar plates -- grayish films, sprinkled with dark points of light representing stars and nebulae that were recorded by the 48-in. telescope at California's Palomar Observatory. Each student has chosen three stars and has been asked to calculate their brightness and temperature based on what the pupils see on the plates and can glean...
...other Western leaders from a nagging impression that PRESIDENT BUSH is ill. Several have noted in telephone conversations with Bush that he vacillates and loses his train of thought in mid-sentence. Diplomats have observed that the President has become more stooped, his face often drawn and his complexion grayish. At last month's G-7 summit in Munich and the CSCE summit in Helsinki, the same symptoms were starkly evident. Says a French diplomat: "The questions they keep asking privately are, Do you think George is ill? How serious is it? And what is it?" "It was much more...
