...Vermont. There is little to be amazed about-except the beauty of the area. The air is clean and fresh; the lakes and streams are full of trout and bass. A sharp-eyed visitor might glimpse deer flashing through the woods, or a fox, raccoon, bobcat or woodchuck. Man's hand has not yet transformed the landscape. Just three of a projected 1,735 houses have been built, and most of the promised amenities are visible only on the pages of the glossy brochure...

...come up with something that does not yet exist -a practical, marketable disk offering four-channel sound of quadrisonic tape. The technical problem-essentially how to squeeze four channels into one groove and then play them off again with high fidelity-has long seemed insoluble.

A wildlife enthusiast with a flair for showmanship -he once attended luncheon with a skunk, a chimpanzee and a ring-tailed lemur in tow-Osborn was among the earliest campaigners against wanton killing of animals, pollution and the many ways that man has of hurting his environment, and in two highly popular books, Our Plundered Planet (1948) and The Limits of the Earth (1953), he examined the need for swift, strict environmental control. "Are we not," he once asked, "running such a busy race for food, space and employment for even greater numbers that...
