...tugging, stretching and, indeed, slowly gobbling up its giant companion, a massive star more than 20 times the size of the sun. Like Milne's fantasy, it is a huge, great, enormous, big nothing. In the catchy phrase of retired Princeton Physicist John Wheeler, it is a black hole in space...
...more interesting than the course catalogue, and a lot more informative. The Confi-Guide tells you what a course is about, how well it is taught, how difficult it is, and whether the work load is going to cut a hole in your love life.

Then he goes west to Idaho for some rafting on the Salmon River and to Wyoming for some hiking around Jackson Hole.

The principal hazards for golfers, moviegoers, racers...
...truck driver from Dubuque, who vowed at the start to "drink a beer at every saloon on this ride." Alas, for the pride of the Doyles, Pat crashed his bike on the fourth day in Iowa Falls, all those saloons and 250 miles from the last watering hole in Clinton. For those who made it from river to river, surviving the buttered corn, sweet rolls, doughnuts, lemonade, watermelon, apples, popcorn, homemade cookies, eggs-any-style, pork-burgers, wienies and pancakes, it was a nice way to make friends, stretch undiscovered muscles and, as Tour Director Don Benson...
