...records confirm that the Scheersberg A arrived empty on Dec. 2. Three days later, most of the Spanish crew who had been dismissed in Rotterdam on Nov. 15 were called back to the ship at Palermo. Curious about its recent travels, some crewmen looked for the ship's log. They found that the pages for the previous 21/2 weeks had been ripped...
...Marine Fisheries Service scampered up the trawler's rope ladder and split into two teams. One hurried below to check the ship's cleaning and packing facilities and its refrigerated hold; the other team headed for the skipper's cabin to inspect the ship's log. The record of the trawler's fishing activities disclosed that the Shevchenko had significantly exceeded the permitted limit on river herring-a protected species.

One can order marble to size, but no tree in China or Japan could possibly give a sculptor a large enough balk of timber to carve something as big as Michelangelo's David. Even if there was such a tree, there would be insuperable problems of technique. Wood is grainy. It favors continuous, compressed shapes with a strong axis along the grain. Anything that sticks sideways from the block...
