...intonations of Carl Spagler--the cretinous golf course groundskeeper-turned-gopher-killer the future ghostbuster played in Caddys-hack. "Hello? Mr. Gopher? Yeah, hi, it's me, Mr. Rabbit," Carl would say as he dangled a plastic explosive in the shape of a rabbit into the gopher's hole. "I'mnot a plastic explosive or anything...
American has dug itself into a hole so deep, that it is close to impossible to get out. Protectionism would clearly trigger a wave of retaliatory measures from Japan that would send the U.S. and the world into an even deeper depression than it is now experiencing. And Japan's control in America may prove a stumbling block to any attempt to reverse its gains...

Needing a birdie on the final hole, Lyle drove into a fairway bunker, fell into an ideal lie, struck a perfect shot...
...other shoe had to drop sooner or later. For five years, atmospheric scientists have known that a 3,000-mile hole in the ozone layer develops over Antarctica during the southern spring. The phenomenon is dramatic evidence of ozone loss in the upper atmosphere, caused largely by man-made chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons, which could leave the earth more vulnerable to cancer-inducing rays from the sun. Now, it seems, there is mounting evidence that the Arctic has its own ozone hole, albeit a smaller one. At the American Geophysical Union meeting last week in Baltimore, W.F.J. Evans, an atmospheric physicist...
Evans' findings are based on the release in 1986 of a series of research balloons at Alert, Canada, near the North Pole. Scientific instruments aboard the craft detected a significant loss of ozone between January and March of that year. Unlike the Antarctic ozone hole, however, the Arctic crater formed only patchily in 1987 and scarcely appeared at all in 1988. For now, Evans' colleagues have reserved judgment about his discovery until further studies of the Arctic atmosphere can be made...
