       I must recommend the 6/02 issue of Natural History magazine. In an 
article titled,"A Beautiful Hand", botanist Rob Nicholson discusses the South 
American jungle paintings of Frederic Church (1826-1900). Church, who was the 
next-door neighbor of the Osborns (HF, not Ozzie) was America's favorite 
painter and when his latest gigantic painting would go on tour it was greeted 
by the public much like a new Star Wars movie is today. There are some 
terrific reproductions in the article, especially a "sketch" in oils of a 
tree fern that is a tour-de-force. A magic brush. His paintigs need big 
dinosaurs.
       There's also a brief feature about Tyrannosaurus' ability to run 
that's a rehash of what you've heard already. DV
