...Lights & Inner Tubes. But try to catch one. No fish has a greater ability to bewilder, bedevil, confuse and confound a fisherman, and none, pound for pound, fights harder. Because it inhabits exposed tidal flats, the bonefish is a nervous wreck-always on the lookout for enemies, spooking at the shadow of a bird overhead, fleeing in panic from the sound of a beer can being opened. Ever so stealthily, the bonefisherman tiptoes across the flats, taking care not to step on sting rays, his freshly baited hook (live shrimp is tasty) all ready, his eyes peeled for a waving...
Hawaiian sportsmen try to beat the game by jack-lighting bonefish at night with miners' head lamps. In Bermuda, they wade out to deeper water where the bonefish hopefully feels more secure-but that risks a dunking, and the shrewd Bermudian floats himself out in Junior's inner tube. The best way is in a flat-bottomed skiff with an expert guide like Florida's George Hommel to spot the fish and patiently explain the technique.

He was one of the forerunners of the still-current rage for Freudian fiction, an early psychological novelist who explored neurotic fear and sexual antagonisms with extraordinary restrained sensuality. Rich in inner soliloquy, barren of drama, his writing is most successful in evocative short stories (notably Silent Snow, Secret Snow, The Last Visit and Mr. Arcularis), where he is able to embody a single emotion in a single carefully worked image...
Meanwhile, a tentative route through Somerville and Cambridge for the Inner Belt expressway, an eight-lane highway connecting various parts of greater Boston, was revealed yesterday. Once the Inner Belt is completed, it will be linked up with the Massachusetts Turnpike, which will have an exit adjacent to Cambridge in Allston...
