...first time all those people met," says Graham. "Ferlinghetti, the Fugs, the Jefferson Airplane, Peter Orlovsky. It was the most beautiful evening of theater, the most beautiful party, the most joyful evening ever. Everyone was stoned -some on grass, yeah, but others on nothing at all but the scene, man. The musicians played, and the people kissed and hugged, and it was unforgettable...
Spongy Tundra. The Arctic, unlike land in temperate climates, does not easily recover from man-made disruptions. Because of the cold, orange peels do not decay for months. Twenty-five-year-old bulldozer tracks are still plainly visible on the tundra today, testimony to the slowness of the land's ability to heal itself. But the basic problem is that most of the Arctic lies on a hard foundation of permafrost-ever-frozen ground that prevents drainage. In the brief summer months, a thin cover of tundra soil thaws a foot deep. But if the ground is gouged...
...culture transplant poses the same difficulty as a heart transplant. It is socially as well as biologically instinctive to reject what is alien.

...more than 16,000 years, the prehistoric paintings in France's famed Lascaux Cave survived in splendid isolation. Then, after the discovery of the cave by four French schoolboys in 1940, man returned to the scene. He brought with him a mysterious blight that threatened to obliterate in a few short years the magnificent red cows, free-floating horses and other majestic creatures drawn so long ago on the cavern walls by talented Cro-Magnon artists. Now the archaeological crisis has apparently passed. French scientists have successfully diagnosed the illness of the ancient art gallery and prescribed a modern...
