HIGHLIGHTS:
July -- 31 days of fireworks ahd picnics overnight campouts, and relaxed reading in some cool, quiet place. It also means swimming, so author Fred Katz dipped into the past, present and future of Olympic swim star Don Schollander, with Suited for Swimming. The Cruel Sky, by Arthur C. Clarke, is not about the hot July weather. lt's a two-part tale of a 21st- century scientist's attempts to conquer gravity. The idea may seem way out, but when you consider that the author is a pro at predicting the future (see biography below), don't dismiss it with a laugh... The Making of a Champion dramatizes sports star Hardy Ward, whose bow-and-arrow artistry led Charleen McClain to zero in on this modern Robin Hood ... Humorist Bob Abel combed the history of hair to put together The Great Hair Hangup-- the first and last words on America's wild and woolly battle of the bangs. .. Next, adventure in Scouting with staffer Dick Pryce as he recounts his hairy, scary white-water canoe trip. Before The Cruise of the Tipsy Gypsy reaches shore, you'll know how Dick get dunked in Canadian waters despite the desperate deeds of Scouting friends to keep his hide dry ... The day two boys meet a "writin' spider," It figures to'be a tale of gags and giggles. Not so, especially since they think tale-spinner Billy C. Clark's The Illiterate Spider is a fearsome mountain myth come to life. Now, let's meet:

ARTHUR C. CLARKE:
A marvelous imagination and a huge store of Scientific knowledge are the secrets of Mr. Clarke's success as an author and creative thinker. The world's foremost science-fiction and science-fantasy writer, he also is a reliable prophet: In 1945 he predicted the communication satellites which rare now whirling in space. So don't scoff at the Levitators this modern H. G. Wells describes in "The Cruel Sky" ... Who knows, you may be using one yourself in 1980!
