And yet tonight, in the quiet of this room, I find that what really remains with me from this first day's travel is not Salisburv Cathedral, nor any of the other charming sights of this city, but rather that marvellous view encountered this morning of the rolling English countryside. Now I am quite prepared to believe that countries can offer more obviously spectacular scenery. Indeed, I have seen in encyclopedias and the National Geographic Magazine breathtaking photographs of sights from various corners of the globe; magnificent canyons and waterfalls, raggedly beautiful mountains. It has never, of course, been my privilege to have seen such things at first hand, but I will nevertheless hazard this with some confidence: the English landscape at its finest - such as I saw it this morning - possesses a quality that the landscapes of others nations, however more superficially dramatic, inevitably fail to possess. It is, I believe, a quality that will mark out the English landscape to any objective observer as the most deeply satisfying in the world, and this quality is probably best summed up by the term "greatness". For it is true, when I stood on that high ledge this morning and viewed the land before me, I distinctly felt that rare, yet unmistakable feeling - the feeling taht one is in the presence of greatness. We call this land of ours Great Britains, and there may be those who believe this a somewhat immodest practice. Yet I would venture that the landscape of our country alone wold justify the use of this lofty adjective.

Wonder What He's Up To?

Ever wanted to know if Stevie Wonder goes to the movies? He does. "You catch nearly all of it if you pay close attention," says Wonder, who has founded, along with SAP, a German software company, the SAP/Stevie Wonder Vision Awards. The awards recognize products and research that assimilate blind people into the workplace, because while visually impaired people can follow a movie, a big percentage of them can't find a job. "I don't get too surprised by anything, " says Wonder of the inventions, "but we did see some good things" . One of the productions is a mouse pad that helps people feel what is going on on the screen. Wonder is amazed by how few manufacturers think of the visually impaired when making appliances. "It's weird. It's so simple to add voice capability," he says. "And it means complete independence for a blind person. "In between his good works, Wonder is still song writing. He hopes to record an album next year.

Time Doesn't Stand Still for Cities on the Go

"Places , like people, have personalities," says Robert Levine, a psychologist at California State University, Fresno. Levine wanted to know which of 36 U.S. cities had the fastest pace of life. He found that Bostonians topped lhe list, outhustling surprising runnersup Buffalo and New York. His study, A Geography of Time, charted walking speed, talking speed, how long it took bank clerks to make change, and the number of passersby wearing watches. New Yorkers led in watches, but the Big Apple placed third overall due to a !$ 28^{th} !$ place finish in talking speed. Fast-moving cities are more stressful , but tend to be more productive economically than their slower moving counterparts, Levine discovered. At the bottom of the list: laid-back Los Angeles. People there talk so slowly that reading the 6 p.m. news would take them until 7:25 to report what residents of Columbus, Ohio, would finish by 7 p.m.

The Gentle Cosmic Rain

Hardly ........... took Louis Frank seriously when he first proposed, more tahn 10 years ago, that Earth was being bombarded by cosmic snowballs at the rate of as many as 30 a minute. Part of the problem was how preposterous his theory sounded: every day, he suggested, tens of thousands of icy comets, each the size of a small house and containing 36 metric tons of water, were vaporizing in the upper atmosphere and raining down on Earth. It didn't help that the University of lowa physicist happened to release his findings on April 1, 1986. "Newspapers, " he recalls, "phoned to ask if this was an April Fool's joke."

Frank is unlikely to hear that kind of question again. Last week, at the American Geophysical Union's annual convention in Baltimore, Md., he backed up his theory with fresh evidence: sattelite images that capture his cosmic hail in midfliht. Suddenly it seems entirely possible that the source of much of the water on Earth - and even of life itself - might be Frank's "gentle cosmic rains." (...)
