Born in Scotland, Robert M. Ar- 
nold received a Ph D. in physiological 
plant pathology from Simon Fraser 
University in British Columbia and 
has been assistant professor of biology 
at Colgate University for the past five 
years. A “childhood interest in trains, 
professional training in biology, and a 
delight in being out in the country 
looking at plants” all came together, 
he says, in research on the reproduc- 
tive and dispersive strategies of plants 
that grow along railroad tracks. Ar- 
nold is currently comparing insect 
pollination in such weeds as dwarf 
snapdragon, an annual that grows 
well on railroad cinders, and butter- 
and-eggs, a perennial that is wide- 
spread along roadsides and waste 
places. 
The idea of studying New York 
City’s bicycle messengers was sug- 
gested to Jack Kugelmass (left) by 
Yoav Levy, whose photographs illus- 
trate the story. In addition to the op- 
portunity to learn about these modern 
“mavericks,” Kugelmass saw the 
chance to earn some money in his role 
as a participant-observer. “In fact,” 
he says, “given the limited prospects 
for anthropologists’ careers, I found 
that the line separating me from the 
messengers became increasingly 
blurred.” Kugelmass is an associate in 
anthropology at the Max Weinreich 
Center for Advanced Jewish Studies 
at the YIVO Institute in New York 
City.
