...Jasmine scrub up in the ablution block and go into the roadhouse, where manager Jones gives them breakfast and correspondence lessons sent from the Aboriginal community at Kalkarinji, 170 km to the south. If the kids are good, they get to cool off afterward in the roadhouse swimming pool...
...Friendly Fauna As morning sun steals into the bar, Pickles, a gray wallaroo joey, wakes up on the pool table while her carer Nora Walsh, 18, does the accounts. Rescued after her mother was killed on the highway, Pickles now sleeps in a canvas tote bag instead of a furry pouch, drinks milk from a bottle as well as grazing on the well-watered lawn, and hops about the roadhouse as if it were native ground. What will happen when Pickles grows up the staff aren't sure, but at about 1 m and 20 kg, female gray wallaroos...
...Boulder church, the Sunday congregation has gathered before what appears to be an above-ground swimming pool on stage. "Today Gloria is being born again," says Malarrpa's Rev. Peter Marumba.

Shevelove updated it by making the battle between George Bernard Shaw and William Shakespeare. Lane keeps those playwrights but adds a twist: Dionysos wants to bring back Shaw...
Mark Spitz is in as complete command of his sport as any other athlete in history. There are many reasons for his proficiency, but his physical attributes alone would seem to give him a pool-length advantage over a greased porpoise. He carries 170 lbs. easily on a tightly compacted 6-ft. frame. Hanging from his wide shoulders are a pair of long supple arms terminating in a pair of scoop-shovel hands that can pull him cleanly through the water with scarcely a ripple. He also has the curious ability to flex his lower legs slightly forward...
