...fish. In the old days, they sometimes went all season long without a catch. So popular was the steelhead that there were five fishermen for every fish until Biologist Clarence Pautzke, 57, now chief of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, hit on a new way to restock Washington's rivers. Instead of dumping 1-in. or 2-in. steelhead fry directly into the streams, where most of them perished before they got big enough to migrate, Pautzke started raising them in hatching pools, turning them loose only when they reached migrating size: 7 in. to 11 in. long...

He slashed costs by more than $20 million by getting rid of 3,825 white-collar employees, shaved inventories by $8,000,000 with a telecomputer center outside Westinghouse's Pittsburgh headquarters that flashes orders to far-flung warehouses and reminds them to restock...

Earnest literati in England and the U.S. used it to deck their coffee tables and to restock their mental shelves. In The Golden Horizon, Connolly picks a scant 600 pages to represent the original 10,000. The result suggests that Horizon often held a monocle rather than a mirror up to nature. But caught in its faintly supercilious eye is a fair share of minor modern masterpieces...
