...many larger fish around, too, because this stretch of the creek was the spawning area. I watched one perch for two weeks while it faithfully guarded its nest against the other fish. It was there every morning and every evening; then one day it was gone. All that was left was a layer of silt from a construction project that the university had just started a little further up the creek...

...injunction came through, but the trees were all down by the time it did. In the meantime, I had to go to a class. When I got back, most of the protesters had left- there were just a few tough-looking lugs sawing up the remains of the trees and Frank Erwin with about 20 left-over police talking at a few students. I talked to a reporter from The New York Times and then wandered over to Erwin. He was explaining that our professors must not give us enough to do if we had time to worry about...

...last song, "Bring It On Home," is a humorous comment on the current preoccupation of coming together. Since Led Zeppelin never left home, or wandered into the hell's kitchen of supporting orchestras and electronic accessories, they bring it on home with one last incomparably precise instrumental exposition. Plant gestures toward the return to simple instruments with a wittily languid harmonica part, punctuated by an indolent "Watch out, watch out."
