Two hours after their jump, all but three of the men were dead or mortally burned. Haunted by these deaths for forty years, Norman Maclean puts together the scatte ..."
"When Norman Maclean sent the manuscript of A River Runs through It to New York publishers, he received a slew of rejections. “It has trees in it,” one editor replied. Forty years later, the title novella is widely recognized as one of the great American tales of the twentieth century, and Maclean as one of the most beloved writers of our time. The finely distilled product of seventy years of a life of often surprising rapture, for fly f ..."

Its walls were green with lichen, and its flooring was the clamp clay in which the nar row, moth-eaten pews were fixed. Though it was erected but fifty years ago it was already far advanced in decay, for it was built in haste to provide a place of worship for the people who had then left the parish church in a body, ..."

and feet attached to the other end for legs. Bytonight, it will run a fever. That's the
way it looked then, but, when I view it now through the sentimentality of memory,

"It was only after several years of experimenting and training that the first
parachute jump on a forest fire was made, one of the two jumpers being Earl
Cooley, who was to be the spotter on the C-47 that carried the Smokejumpers to
the Mann Gulch fire and, as spotter, tapped each jumper on the left calf as the
signal to step into the sky over Mann Gulch. The chief psychological roadblock
holding up the acceptance of parachute jumpi ..."

It has long been recognised that since all such cells retain copies of all genes, the genetic explanation for tissue differences lies in the controlled expression of restricted sets of genes. But how is the choice made and how are such restricted groups of genes acti ..."
