Beside professional golfers, only rodeo contestants are willing to travel some 8,000 miles, pay their own expenses, receive no guarantee of being a dollar richer when they return. Every year some 300 trouping golfers jaunt from town to town, from coast-to-coast, making three-day stands in a carefully planned route known as the "grapefruit circuit" (see map). Starting at sporty Pinehurst with the Mid-South Open in November [No. 1 on the map], they move down the coast one jump ahead of the thermometer, spend the month of December shuttling around Greater Miami and Nassau [tournaments this...
...birds and mammals (including whales), blown dust or silt, organic refuse of all sorts. Naturally the scientist cannot see this stuff without digging, because it is covered with vegetation. It is the vegetation itself which gives the clue. Rooted in such beds of unintentional fertilizer, the growth is darker, richer and taller than the average, and may show a luxuriant cover of plants which are rare elsewhere. On Kodiak Island the sites were covered with stinging nettles and wild parsnip; over burial sites elderberries were common. One site at Uyak Ray was covered every year with handsome forget-me-nots...

...outstanding contribution, I think, is Mr. Laughlin's story, "The River." The backnoyed theme of the Middle-Western boys with the vision of "a better, richer life far, far away" from Springfield, Wisconsin, is handled with maturity of perception and of style. The single incident of the story, where Carson and Craig pick up two girls in Paris, is deftly made the turning point in the action. The sense of drifting is given reality both by an expert use of detail, and by long idiomatic sentences, winding into patterns of thought, half speech, marked by the use of participles...
...serious Rightist offensive on the Aragon front must drive toward either Valencia or Barcelona; the latter would be far the richer prize. Barcelona's defenses are strong. They will be stronger with the Government directly behind them, particularly since the fall of Gijón and Santander was largely due to what correspondents in Spain like to call the "fifth column": sympathizers inside a besieged town or district who rise to arms as (presumably) "four" surrounding columns advance...
