...absence of a Third World Center at Harvard may explain why many Blacks cluster together for meals, according to BSA member Leah Johnson '87. "There are a lot of Jewish students in my house, but they don't all sit together at meals. They know they have one place to go for fellowship," says Johnson, referring to Harvard-Radcliffe Hillel, which she likens to a Third World Center...
...doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, it is a good cat as long as it catches mice." Capitalism is rapidly spreading from China's farms to its cities. Like Lima, Peking swarms with private vendors offering everything from soft drinks to socks. The hawkers cluster in 600 free markets in Peking and 61,000 throughout China. In the northeastern city of Shenyang, the government leases factories to individual managers, who can earn up to $19,000 a year, or nearly 60 times the average worker's wage. Another pilot program allows workers at some 20 Shenyang...
...from three miles up, it is a world's record. Over the Fourth of July weekend Guy Manos and Tom Piras of Deland, Fla., headed a group of sky diving aficionados who gathered in Muskogee, Okla., to have a go at breaking their 1983 record of 72 parachutists in cluster formation.

Paleontologists do not argue with those who accept this account on faith. But they take strong issue with practition-ers of "creation science," who purport to offer scientific evidence that this Fred Flintstone version of prehistory is correct. For decades a strong piece of that "evidence" has been a cluster of fossilized tracks in the seasonally dry bed of the Paluxy Creek, near Glen Rose, Texas. One track of three-toed footprints was obviously made by a dinosaur. The feet that made another track, crossing the first at an angle, lacked the giant toes and looked human to some...
...high-tech wonders are created in a surprisingly low-tech cluster of buildings in a suburban office park. A sign out front says THE KERNER COMPANY --a deception intended, company officials say, to keep away youngsters who used to rummage through the garbage looking for cast-off Darth Vaders and E.T.s. The ambiance is casual; blue jeans and running shoes are ubiquitous, and a family spirit prevails. "It's a group effort rather than a search for personal glory," says George Joblove, who joined ILM last year to help develop a computer-graphics department. "There's a nice sense...
