...otherwise ungraciously give top billing to the bulls. For pesos the journalists make lackluster movies seem works of art, and prizefighters jewels of virtuosity.

Garden experts suggest applying regular doses of poison and keeping eternal vigilance, or gently pulling crab grass out by the roots. They are putting their hopes in new, specialized chemicals that have been developed to combat the weed. Many a homeowner has found the most comfortable way to beat crab grass is to join it.

They depict tall, slender, square-shouldered people quite unlike the present-day aborigines. Sharply designed and hauntingly evocative, they suggest a lost civilization with its own unnamed gods and elaborate ritual. Some paintings show boomerangs, the aborigine's weapon, but boomerangs were used in several parts of the prehistoric world. Lommel has not the slightest notion what the pictures signify, but believes they prove Australia must have been in contact...
