...womb, usually in older women. The form that attacks the cervix (neck) of the womb may develop in women at any age from the late teens on. Because of both its greater frequency and its threat to women in their childbearing years, this type has received intensive study. The American Cancer Society's Epidemiologist E.

...Arnold, 78, eminent Washington lawyer and onetime New Deal trustbuster; of a heart attack; in Alexandria, Va. As an Assistant Attorney General from 1938 to 1943, Arnold initiated more antitrust suits (230) than any other individual in the history of the Sherman Antitrust Act, winning major decisions against the American Medical Association, Standard Oil of New Jersey and the Associated Press.

...since his seminary days, when he joined a fundamentalist rebellion against liberalizing trends within the Presbyterian Church. Later, he split with fellow rebels to form his own sect, the Bible Presbyterian Church-and then his own church split yet again.

And he controls the small (an estimated 8,000 members) Bible Presbyterian Church-at least for the time being. Last month, at the church's synodal convention, 40% of the delegates voted for a rival candidate to replace Founder Mclntire as moderator...
David Chappellet (Robert Redford), a tough kid from the wrong side of the Rockies, flies to Switzerland to replace an injured member of an American amateur ski team. His lot is a starting place at the back of the order, after other skiers have chewed up and rutted the downhill course. Still, Chappellet goes as though pursued by demons, and he wins a crack at an Olympic championship. Along the way he wrangles with his coach (Gene Hackman), makes the usual number of enemies, and sleeps with a couple of girls, one disadvantaged and one super-sleek (Camilla Sparv...
