...modern walkers, free from the uncertainty and food worries that plagued Caley, have time to revel in their surroundings. Giant red waratah blooms stand on thick stalks like sentinels beside dark pools. Slow slugs colored electric pink and pale green come out after the rain, when the rich brown, gold and silver-gray hues of wet bark glisten. Huge flowers adorn gnarled banksia trees so old they would have been sprouting when Caley passed by. Owls call to another in the dark, and the stars, which Caley thought he was seeing when he found glow-worms in Luminous Valley, glitter...
...byplay with that sublime foil Margaret Dumont. Find the source of many an immortal jape: "Go, and never darken my towels again"; "Well, who are you gonna believe, me or your own eyes?"; "You're fighting for this woman's honor, which is probably more than she ever did."

...advent of the Beatles. They had four hit singles in 1970, two more already this year, four albums, with all 10 releases selling in the millions, and one (I'll Be There) already well over 4,000,000 ... They have their own magazine, a quarterly in which fans can revel in a whole issue devoted entirely to the Jackson Five and read things like 'Michael's Love Letter to You.' STORES NOW BULGE WITH JACKSON FIVE DECALS, STICKERS AND SWEATERS. A JACKSON FIVE HAIR SPRAY AND A JACKSON FIVE WATCH ARE PLANNED ... Despite this commercial hoopla, the group manages...
