Newscopy: 'LEAVES, THREE, LET IT BE'--"Here is a healthy young branch of poison oak, found growing right in Golden Gate Park. Sometimes the leaves are shiny, sometimes dull; sometimes red, sometimes green; sometimes lobed, sometimes with smooth edges. The little new leaves are apt to be red at this time of year; in the fall all the leaves will turn scarlet. There is only one sure sign--three leaves on each stem. Be sure to count.".
