Well, guess what? My first lab report was seven pages long, single-spaced, and was accompanied by two illustrations done completely on the computer. Who needs hand-drawn figures when you can include high-resolution vector graphics from Adobe Illustrator outputted in EPS format for inclusion in a PostScript document?

But Rob Gogan, Recycling and Waste Manager for Facilities Maintenance Operations (FMO), seeks to prove skeptics wrong. Since including a sighting of a red-tailed hawk as a postscript to one of his monthly e-mail recycling updates, Gogan, who offers nature walks by appointment, has been flooded with e-mails boasting of wildlife sightings around campus.
