...unfortunately surnamed Mr. Bangs' image, I guess we're supposed to believe that somehow heavy metal has become deader than any dodo, or at least lost its teeth, claws and selfish-gene nastiness and become a lumbering, well-meaning vegetable-eater with about as much magnetism as those scurrying, tree-climbing ancestors of ours busily devouring leaves and trying not to be devoured by beasts of the jungle. Brontosaurus indeed. Junk. And forget about Mr. Bangs because Bad Company has just brought out their fourth record in what has become an annual event--Burning Sky succeeds Bad Co., Straightshooter...
...VIEW dreams as either tree farms or jungles. They can be logical, symmetrical and tame, set out in rows of trees that can always be distinguished from the untamed woods. Such neat dreams are a comfort to the tidy who enjoy right-angles and other intellectual exercises in geometry.

Dreams are more an impression of reality than a photographic re-creation of it. They are made up of substance and shade, as are pictures...
...shot of B.C.'s number three man plunked down in a pine tree, from which he extricated it by hitting with the backside of his club. Cahill of Brown found his ball suspended in a bush but he managed to nudge it onto the macadam path that leads up to the green, only to have it roll 60 yards backwards toward...
...linksters had their troubles with the demanding 6th hole, a 463 yard par four with an hourglass fairway. Vik came away with a five while Paxton salvaged a bogey by punching a shot through some overhanging tree limbs onto the green...
Some studies at the center are much more mundane. Jack Eddy, a visiting scientist at the Center, has shown how the amount of radioactive carbon in tree rings can be related to sunspots. Increased solar activity leads to warmer climates, Eddy says, raising the radiocarbon content of the rings. Another group of astronomers, working with radio telescopes designed to detect water vapor in remote parts of our own galaxy, found they could also use the radio telescope to measure the amount of water vapor in the earth's atmosphere. The method proved cheaper and more accurate than previous techniques, like...
