...hardly befits the genius of Watson. Because of preposterous insertions, like this pun: "You've a real gift for telling a tale, Watson, and a flair for titles, too, I'll be bound," or the following canard: "On that previous occasion Holmes wished to employ Toby in order to trace an orangutan through the sewers of Marseille," one comes to rue moribund Watson's addled state or to suspect the young Meyer of a deceitful forgery...
...other places are the field and into the laboratory. Many trace the demise of teaching and the displacement of faculty instruction by graduate student teaching to the "Plush Sixties" when millions of dollars in government funds became available for basic research.

When Ry (short for Ryland) Cooder's fourth and latest album, Paradise and Lunch, popped up at the shallow end of the charts this summer, the reaction at Warner Bros. Records was gratification tinged with a trace of awe. Cooder has no gruesomely elaborate stagecraft or lifestyle, and his work is not the sort that goes down easily with Carly Simon fans or Elton John aficionados. His music is elegantly eclectic, running from Leadbelly and Sleepy John Estes blues numbers through main-line ballads of the 1940s to reggae and rock 'n' roll. "Ry's pure...
