Raveling is not a Californian by any stretch of the imagination. But you don't see too many guys like him in the Ivies either. In the huddle, he's a drill sargent, bellowing a stream of juicy expletives at his troops. On the bench, he's a no-nonsense high school principle, lecturing his players, lecturing the referees, stalking the sidelines with eagle eyes riveted on the court. In the press room he's James Earl Jones, pontificating, condescending, commanding respect. Roby is tough. He can scream and curse and berate officials, too. But would he call time...

In a narrow valley by a trout stream, Tim Anderson, 13, is asked to describe his favorite trekking moment. "The tall white trees ((aspens)) make me think of fresh air and a clean world," he says.

...Take the American Association for Retired People and the National Rifle Association, two of the nation's most powerful lobbies and, not by coincidence, two of the largest direct mailers. In addition to the literature it sends its 32 million members, the A.A.R.P. each year puts into the mail stream 50 million pieces simply prospecting for new adherents. The N.R.A. generates up to 12 million pieces monthly. Each group has the capacity to flood Capitol Hill with thousands of letters when it feels its interests are threatened. Earlier this year the N.R.A. sent out 10 million "membership alert" mailings, urging...
