...stars visible from the Northern Hemisphere. Now that they are involved with MIRA, the six young astronomers find the prospect of conventional employment in their field much less alluring than before. "I'd stay right here with this now, even if a terrific research job came along," says Hazel Ross, 28. "We're running a business, planning road surveys, designing septic tanks -it's just so much more fun than worrying about publish or perish...
...complex social structure, full of dominant and submissive roles, populated with kings, queens and knaves. The butt of ceaseless fertility jokes turns out to be the master-or rather mistress-of birth control; when overcrowded or undernourished, the rabbit "resorbs" its embryos in utero. Adams' industrious Hazel, Fiver and Bigwig are pelt-deep fictions; in the real world, male rabbits are lallygagging drones.

Once her eyes, "like wet grapes," fixed on him, she blessed and cursed the playwright with all the attention a writer could dream...
Evert's concentration borders on the mesmeric. Scrunching her nose and squinting her hazel eyes, she assumes a trancelike expression that rarely bespeaks the slightest emotion. Rivals have described her intensity as "almost eerie," her slit-eyed squint as "snake-like." Julie Heldman claims that Evert's poise is so great that she does not seem to sweat, much less disturb a strand of her honey brown hair. "I have never seen Chris look disheveled," says Julie, "or even pleasantly rumpled...
