While most of the folks back home were sweltering in a heat wave, America's favorite fluffhead got caught in a gust of wind straight off the steppes, or anyway at the foot of Gorky Street in Moscow, and found her umbrella abruptly demolished. Goldie Hawn had turned up to "get into some young people's heads" and find out what it would be like to be "the girl from Petrovka."

In the years between 1954, when the book came out, and the present, Tolkien saw his readership spread from a handful of literate Anglophiles who savored The Lord of the Rings much as they do Grahame's The Wind in the Willows or T.H.

Unlike Arizona's native vegetation, which has sticky grains of pollen that are carried from plant to plant by birds, insects and bats, the imported plants produce the kind of pollen that is easily detached and carried by the wind. Consequently, the Arizona air is laden with pollen pollution. "The desert is a wonderful place for wind pollination because the wind blows most of the year and the growing season lasts most of the year," says University of Arizona Geoscientist Dr. Allen M. Solomon. "We're just about...
