...scene is, Vedder--a conservationist who began studying gorillas in Rwanda in 1978 with Dian Fossey--can't help noticing that it's also a bit surreal. For one thing, she's standing behind a wall of thick, protective glass. For another, she is not actually visiting the gorillas' home range; rather, they're visiting hers. Just to the west, after all, stands Yankee Stadium. Next to that is a subway station for the IRT line that runs straight into Manhattan...

At the driving range you get to hit time-delayed exploding golf balls at moving targets--everything from armadillos to hot-air balloons. I felt the game required intensive night testing at my home laboratory, as well as further experimentation under office conditions. My problem was remembering to carry the disc back and forth. The obvious solution? Make a copy...
