...parcels of spruce trees on Whiteface Mountain in New York. On Camels Hump, a major peak in Vermont's Green Mountain range, and Mount Mitchell in North Carolina, the highest peak in the East, red spruce are losing their foliage and dying, leaving barren patches on the once lush slopes. Says Botanist Hub Vogelmann of the University of Vermont: "There are some pretty big holes in the forest...

...fields, had he not been introduced as a teen-ager to the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins, the English Roman Catholic convert who became a priest and master poet. "A verse of his described an old farmyard and talked about 'weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush.' Something in that language touched some secret storage of imagery that had been there, in my mind, since my childhood in the outback...

...Horse Guards, plus a scrawled, emblematic castle. But what are they doing in the green space that is Morley's sign for paradise? The probable answer is that they are there because they are in the artist; the combinations of aggro-and-bother with glimpses of lush relaxation and childhood escape epitomize his own conflicts.

...only other couple with similar ambitions were the Americans. Blumberg, 26, and Seibert, 24, chose to skate to Rimsky-Korsakov's lush symphonic suite Schéhérazade. Under the tutelage of Bobby Thompson, a British coach close to Torvill and Dean, the pair had revamped their style over the past two years. In 1983 the effort paid off with a bronze medal at the World Championships. They had come to Sarajevo with real hopes for a silver, but finished in fourth place after being marked down .3 of a point below the panel's average...
