Freidman as a result is caught in a bureaucratic mesh; until it is eventually settled, he is unable to travel because his passport is not in order. He thought at first of solving the impasse by flying to a nearby country and coming back into Japan officially. But, of course, since there is no record that he is in Japan, there is no way that his passport can be stamped to allow...
...Horner, who was studying for an M.S. and is now a research physicist in Cambridge for the U.S. Department of Transportation. They have three children, born while both Homers were getting doctorates at the University of Michigan, and absolutely no problems about job conflicts. "Our careers just happened to mesh," says Horner. "I love woodworking and she loves cooking, so there's never any hassle about things around the house...
...fullest intensity of sorrow, his ramble through dilapidation seems to stray upwards until brought to a halt before the wire fences of the concentration camps listed in the song. But as the wandering glance draws closer to this stronghold of destruction, the barracks and chimneys behind the mesh fail to materialize.

In 1963 the U.S. Bureau of Sport Fisheries imported some amurs from Malaysia, later turned 70 of them over to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission for study. Outlets were carefully blocked with wire mesh to prevent any from escaping. Still, accidents will happen, and last spring Arkansas biologists found a few white amurs in the White River, a tributary of the Mississippi. Since eight years of research had disclosed no faults in the amur, and the fish was now free in the environment anyway...
