                   conversion after receiving a goat as a gift from a grateful
                   village elder, who insists on "adopting" him into her tribe;

                   civilization at a paradise called No-Name Point.  But

3.18     3/16/92   "My Mother, My Sister": An infant abandoned in Joel's
                   waiting room gets plenty of TLC from Cicely residents and
                   even stirs nesting instincts in some.  But for Shelly, a
                   surprise visit from her youth-crazed mother turns family

                   he's energized by feelings of well-being--plus a basketball-
                   coaching assignment he takes very seriously.  Meanwhile, the
                   sunlight brings to town adventure-seeking salesman Gillis
                   Toomey, who's tempted to settle down in Cicely, thanks to a

                   atmosphere is Ruth-Anne's yuppie, investment-banker son

                   Mummenschanz theatrical group), which delights

                   never knew he had--and (after she appears out of the blue)
                   he wishes he'd never met, for Holling sees her as a "bad
                   seed" who's corrupting Shelly.  Meanwhile, Ed befriends a
                   migrating crane flying south through Cicely; and Marilyn's

                   and the colors and aromas of fall.  But not everyone shares
                   in the enthusiasm.  A tightly wound Joel has little to be
                   thankful for learning that the state of Alaska requires his
                   services for another year.  And bubble man Mike considers

                   espionage; another visitor, a young health inspector with a
                   nose for detail, puts in his two-cents worth at the Brick;
                   and the death of another friend has Maggie on her best

                   discovery.  On other turf, a post-apocalyptic nightmare has
                   Ed contemplating the end of life on Earth: and a resourceful
                   youngster ends up at the Brick, where he's struck by the love
                   bug.

4.18     3/1/93    "Northern Lights": The winter solstice lights the way to a
                   new creative direction for Chris; finds Holling hibernating
                   to recharge his batteries; and encourages Joel--after he's
                   denied a vacation--to break his Hippocratic oath and go on
                   strike.  But that eventually incurs the wrath of Cicely's
                   residents, who muster empathy only for a down-on-his-luck
                   Vietnam vet.

                   way to save it; Shelly can't open her mouth without spon-
                   taneously breaking out in song, which grates on Holling's
                   nerves; and Maggie practically kills Joel with kindness.
