...appealing ring of the outsider. As with Carter, the approach had served Reagan well. He had made some mistakes along the bumpy way. He knows he should have entered more primaries, like Ohio and New Jersey. Now, he told his wife Nancy, it was like sitting in a courtroom and waiting for the jury to come in. But no matter what happened, Reagan felt vindicated by the hard journey. He had not destroyed himself-or his party. He had challenged a President and made it stick...
...hawk barn" got chicks from captive birds to survive, and not until 1975 that they began regularly releasing peregrines into the wild. Last year Cade placed 16 peregrines-offspring of birds trapped in Canada and Alaska and mated in captivity-in artificial eyries in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Maryland. This summer he hopes to set 34 free in the Eastern U.S. His goal: to release enough young birds so that the peregrine can re-establish itself in the East and breed naturally, now that there is a near-total...
Odds should be better for four-month-old birds placed atop a tower in New Jersey's Brigantine National Wildlife Refuge earlier this month.

Two falcons released a few miles to the north near Barnegat Inlet last summer disappeared during the winter but returned to the Jersey shore this summer. Equally encouraging, birds bred in captivity have mated this year and begun raising families of their...
...serving its late (1946) legendary M.C., Major Edward Bowes. Amateur Hour went on TV in 1948, and Mack ran the show until it died because of poor ratings in 1970. Among the future stars the show presented: Beverly Sills, Maria Callas, Ann-Margret, Pat Boone, and a skinny New Jersey kid named Frank Sinatra. Mack missed a couple: he rejected Elvis Presley and Tiny Tim. "Perhaps there was too much pelvis in Elvis," he explained, "and we're not the only ones to have said no to Tiny...
