Passionate wildfowler and BASC Council member John Harlow captures the wild magic of The Wash in Lincolnshire.

Dale, homeless for decades and seriously ill, is ragged, pale and of uncertain temper — a peace-loving man, he says, unless you mess with his dogs or his beer. And yet, at 62, he has both a bold dream and a prayer that maybe only UCLA Health can help make come true. The dream, says the graybeard in a tattered trucker cap, is saving enough coin from doing odd jobs around West Los Angeles to put down a deposit on a $50,000 lot next to a fishing hole in his native Michigan.

This is a Halloween story about a haunting. And not just in the modest suburban home in Culver City that became the epicenter of a UCLA investigation into violent poltergeist activity. This story is about how the investigators themselves are still haunted by the events of that summer and fall 50 years ago, in 1974.

SPOOKY. Albert Einstein once used that word to describe his new universe.

But now some are playing in the real world — this time to save real lives. Twelve years ago this summer, UCLA medical engineers coded one of the first “biogames” — video games that encourage players who would normally use their skills for Call of Duty to turn their game faces toward a good cause.
