Link with the Past. Boonville is the Cannery Row of the '60s, a case study of isolated humanity intertwined with the land and the elements. It lies 100 miles north of San Francisco at the southern end of Mendocino County's Anderson Valley, a corridor 30 miles long that takes the Navarro River northwest to the Pacific. The southern half looks like Scotland: steep hills, lush fields dotted with sheep and shacks with wood smoke coming out of the chimneys. The valley is beautiful and silent.

Joggers - like religious fanatics -must be endowed with an abundance of faith. They assume that physical exercise is good for them, but there has been relatively little scientific evidence to back them up. Now Herbert A. deVries, a University of Southern California physical-education professor, has conducted controlled before-and-after tests and has found, he contends, that exercise makes the bodies of septuagenarians act like those of 40-year-olds...

According to their findings, authority in the Commission is extremely centralized: Dixon is responsible for most decisions on what complaints to consider, what enforcement tactics to use, what information to withhold from the public. Appointed in 1960 by Kennedy as a Southern political debt, Dixon has driven, says the report, most Republicans out of high-level positions, and has staffed the agency with cronies, political appointees, and Southerners who share little of the interest of some low-grade attorneys in vigorous industry regulation. Dixon's self-declared admiration for an imagined high...
