Beautiful Losers. The President, whose economic advisers often have a cavalier attitude toward the stock market, is beginning to realize that the decline in stock prices is cutting painfully into the hopes and fortunes of Middle America. The 17-month-old bear market on Wall Street is the longest and costliest since World War II. The value of listed stocks held by 26 million Americans has dropped by more than $200 billion-an average $7,700 per investor. Many popular issues on the American Stock Exchange and the over-the-counter market have dropped by more than 50%, and some...

They're often two hundred feet all, with ten-inch-long needles. They are the oldest trees with the longest roots. In a sense, they hold the forest together. After a forest fire, grass begins to grow, which is soon replaced by bushes, like mountain mahogany and thimbleberry. Fast growing poplar trees shade out the bushes, like quaking aspens. After about a hundred years, the coniferous forest again dominates the area...
Watson took fourth in the 1500 meters at last summer's outdoor national AAU's to qualify for this spring's race. Since then, however, he has only been in that event once-at the Eastern AAU's in March. The longest distance in freshman competition is 500 yards...
