Time Is Running Out. To determine the age of the fossilized "Marmes man" (named after the rancher who owns the site), the W.S.U. scientists radiocarbon-dated mollusk shells lying in a stratum above the bone remnants and decided that they were nearly 11,000 years old. Thus, they reasoned, the bones lying in the stratum below must be between 11,000 and 13,000 years old. This gives Marmes man paleontologic seniority over such previously discovered Western Hemisphere relics as "Minnesota Minnie," the Midland (Texas) man and the Tepexpan (Mexico) man, all estimated to be some 10,000 years...
...person. Leslie A. Levis '67, one of the club's first Radcliffe members (the club merged with the Radcliffe Republican Club in the spring of 1966) said last year, "Executive Committee members all look like Midwesterners." A Jewish committee member from New York seems more like the Wyoming rancher Republican than other New Yorkers. And the president of the club, Jay B. Stephens '68, is an earnest Iowan...

Steve Hutchison, an Oregon artist, rancher and father of two young sons, offers more ideas: "Build a summer cabin, save the hoot owl, collect thunder eggs, build a telescope, pioneer in Alaska, which desperately needs able people." If the family still lacks a common crisis, says Hutchison, "Hire a wolf to howl at the door...
...Firing Line partner would be Marshall McLuhan. But stack him against self-educated Dockhand Eric Hoffer, the man of passionately simple convictions, and Buckley would do a fast fade from brilliance. Because he evinces about as much commitment and attachment to an ideal as a first-time-out dude rancher does to the horse...
...hundred years ago, Texas Rancher Charles Goodnight became a living legend of the West because of the way in which he and his Winchester-armed cowhands fought off rustlers during cattle drives and hanged without trial any they captured. Today, things are changed. Take the case of New Mexico Rancher George Farr, who last week had to fight off not rustlers but the U.S. Air Force. Farr was driving 500 head of cattle from his ranch to a rail head 40 miles away; the Air Force was about to fire an Athena missile from Green River, Utah, to White Sands...
