...unique fauna as the monk seal, the hoary bat and the predacious caterpillar. (There are no snakes on the islands.) Maui's waters teem with more than 700 species of fish, perhaps 20% of which are to be found only in Hawaii. The island's most faithful visitor is the humpback whale, the sportive, 40-ton leviathan that returns each whiter to the Lahaina roadstead to play and calve -and enthrall the onlooker...
...largest), Kaanapali Beach and Maui Surf hotels. Other Kaanapalitan lures include two championship golf courses (several couples each year get married on the 18th hole); 20 tennis courts; Whaler's Village, a 30 store shopping complex; and an airstrip from which Royal Hawaiian Air Service whisks the visitor in Cessna luxury to and from Honolulu. Henry A. Walker Jr., chairman and president of Amfac, Inc., owners of the resort, is developing a $4 million, seven-acre Hawaiian Sea Village, ressurrecting the islands' ancient arts and crafts. A few miles to the north is Kapalua, whose Bay Hotel opened...
...never ended, who cracks jokes about the nuclear shit hitting the fan and the plant exploding. While the plant's P.R. man (James Hampton, a veteran of T.V.'s "F-Troop" and "Rockford Files") proudly displays the space-age control room from the bird's eye perspective of the visitor's gallery, the shit indeed hits the fan. The building shakes, buzzers blast, and control panel lights flash like a Christmas tree gone beserk. Douglas surreptitiously films the panic unfolding below him, focusing on the contorted face of supervisor Jack Godell (Jack Lemmon '47). By adroitly juggling water valves...
Last week, after a journey of 18 months, a tiny visitor from earth streaked precariously close to the giant of the solar system, penetrating deep into Jupiter's powerful magnetic field and coming within 278,000 km (172,400 miles) of the Jovian cloud tops. Back at Caltech's Jet Propulsion Lab, controllers waited breathlessly to see whether the plucky robot would survive that dangerous encounter. But even before Voyager 1 made its closest approach on Monday, the 826 kg (1,820 lb.) unmanned spacecraft sent home a trove of new findings about Jupiter, including evidence that...
...visitor to Jupiter could, of course, neglect its moons, especially the four largest, which were discovered by Galileo in 1610. Higher-powered telescopes have since discerned at least 13 natural satellites, but little has been learned about them. Voyager is now lifting that veil...
