...acceptance to our neighbors, we may find a little more room to be ourselves. We may find greater openness, greater freedom and greater self-expression--and find ourselves even more enriched by our acceptance than those friends and associates to whom we extend our warmth and support. Peter Patch Tutor in Economics
...time in L.A. on the freeways, to and from the blond surfer-studded beaches and the cute little restaurants and pseudo-intellectual hangouts and quaint shops. Urbanologists have developed computer models that show L.A. will be completely paved over by 1982, except for a three by five foot square patch of grass that will be used to grow avocados. Swallowing my intellectual pretensions, I also made the required trip to Universal Studios, but was enraged to find that the Jaws exhibit was not operating that day. 3000 miles from New York and Bruce the Shark isn't home when...

The jagged line on the Fathometer confirmed that we were in the swordfish's favorite haunt, a 1,100-ft.-deep stretch of the bathtub-warm Gulf Stream. Broadbills normally stay hundreds of feet down-one reason they are so hard to catch-but in the early '70s, Cuban refugee fishermen discovered that these fish rose from the depths at night, apparently to feed on squid that in turn were feeding on microscopic plankton...
