From Whirlybird To Chasing Birdies
DARRYL DONOVAN admits his golf game became a little rusty when he was in the Army, but he did get pretty good in an attack helicopter. That was Donovans previous specialty during his seven years in the service, including two at nearby Fort Ord, before leaving in 1991 to try golf full time. Playing in his first United States Open, he impressively made the cut ahead of some of golfs top names before fading to 76s on Saturday and Sunday. Donovan, 32 years old, grew up near Miami, played golf on his high school team while also pursuing his other interest: horses. He was a hot-walker in Hialeah, then moved up to New Jersey and was grooming, then training horses at the Meadowlands. After that he bounced around three colleges before finally ending up as an assistant pro in Oklahoma City. While there, he listened to the war stories of a few retired aviators, and that inspired him to apply to flight school.

A Feathery Fable of Love And Other Mushy Stuff
When Hubie, a chubby, shy penguin with the voice of Martin Short, falls in love with Marina, a pretty penguin with a pink flower on her head, he knows what he has to do. According to the mating ritual of their breed, he must drop a pebble -- a kind of engagement ring -- at her feet. These are words to live by in the penguin world: A kiss on the hand may be quite continental, but pebbles are a girls best friend. That idea may be a lot more charming if youre 4, the optimum age for viewers of this gentle, animated musical. Though The Pebble and the Penguin is pleasant, it doesnt have the vivid characters, first-rate animation or sense of adventure that turns movies like The Lion King into endlessly watchable favorites.

Seeing Faster
We learned to see, at long last. Partway through the millennium, we figured out how to shape and polish glass so as to see far and to see small, and we dug back into dead languages of previous millenniums to name our new aids to seeing -- telescope, microscope, spectroscope, spectrophotometer, spectroheliograph and, eventually, television. We figured out the art, the geometry and the semantics of perspective. No wonder our superheroes had X-ray vision; so did we. And infrared vision, and ultraviolet vision, and gamma-ray vision and nuclear-magnetic-resonant vision.We extended our sight far beyond the tiny spectrum our unaided eyes could handle, from violet to red. We looked out, and we looked inside. We saw where earth is and what humans are (if not quite who we are). We noticed quasars and we noticed viruses. Surprise! In all falling rain, carried from gutters into water-butts, animalcules are to be found. in all kinds of water, standing in the open air, animalcules can turn up, noted Anton van Leeuwenhoek, the first man to observe bacteria. We figured out some things about color and space. To myself, Isaac Newton remarked modestly, I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.. Essay by James Gleick says man has developed ways to see better, then to see faster; says science has made it possible to observe speed and then to love it, dangers notwithstanding; says man chooses mania over boredom; photos (M)
