After a passionate date, Frank and Linda find that they will soon be parents. Frank is sent oversees with the marines, and Linda is left to face pregnancy out of wedlock in the late 1950s south alone. After they later marry, they have a son born with birth defects. Is this a punishment or a lesson? How should they care for this son?

A Fokker-Planck equation for the distribution function of electrons trapped in a magnetic field in the presence of a scattering atmosphere is applied to the Van Allen electron belt. Solutions are obtained for the equilibrium flux resulting from an electron source of arbitrary energy for the cases where (a) loss of energy by collisions is neglected and (b) loss by diffusion out of the trapping region is neglected; and an approximate solution is obtained for the actual case where both processes are considered. The assumption that the electron source is supplied by decaying neutrons leads to an equilibrium electron flux whose energy dependence is qualitatively different from the observed spectrum.

"Sixty-four rock samples were collected from mineralized and unmineralized areas around five gold-silver lode mines in the Republic district. The five mines were the Knob Hill, Mountain Lion, Morning Glory, Flagg Hill and Golden Valley. Samples were obtained from veins (quartz, carbonate and banded quartz-carbonate), wallrocks (andesite, trachyandesites and monzonite), and country rocks (pyroxene--hornblende andesite, trachyandesite and quartz latite). All samples were analyzed for major and minor oxides and selected trace elements. Thirty-four samples were examined petrographically. Hydrothermal alteration products of wallrocks were either quartz-sericite ±clays and sulfates or chlorite-pyrite-calcite. Country rocks were altered deuterically in part. Chemical and petrographic classifications of the host rocks were therefore imprecise. Chemical data reported by Ikramuddin and others (1983) for unaltered Sanpoil Volcanics were used to establish background geochemical values. Altered volcanic rocks are enriched in Si, K, Ag, As, Au, Li, Rb and Sb and depleted in Al, Fe, Ca, Na, Mn, Ba, F, Sr and Zn compared to unaltered rocks. Se is detected only in volcanic-hosted veins at lower topographic intervals. K, As, Au, Rb and Sb are enriched in altered volcanic rocks found at the highest topographic positions. The five mines are classified tentatively according to their vertical posi-tions on the zoned model epithermal precious metals systems proposed by Buchanan (1981) and White (1981), as follows: Mountain Lion - the uppermost portion of the precious metals horizon (PMH), the Knob Hill - the full PMH, the Flagg Hill - the lower portion of the PMH and the Morning Glory and Valley - intermediate positions in the PMH.

Presents over 200 of the fearless and explicit poems that Whitman wrote during the creative and sexual prime of his life, before he became America's "respectable, grandfatherly Good Gray Poet" through 30 years of revision and self-censorship. 2 illustrations. 7 photos.

A comprehensive collection of Whitman's most beloved works of poetry, prose, and short stories When Walt Whitman self-published Leaves of Grass in 1855 it was a slim volume of twelve poems and he was a journalist and poet from Long Island, little-known but full of ambition and poetic fire. To give a new voice to the new nation shaken by civil war, he spent his entire life revising and adding to the work, but his initial act of bravado in answering Ralph Waldo Emerson's call for a national poet has made Whitman the quintessential American writer. This rich cross-section of his work includes poems from throughout Whitman's lifetime as published on his deathbed edition of 1891, short stories, his prefaces to the many editions of Leaves of Grass, and a variety of prose selections, including Democratic Vistas, Specimen Days, and Slang in America.
