...smaller ships in order to force the flattop to change course while launching or landing aircraft and thus maybe dump a few planes into the sea. In the air, bombers of the Soviet navy^s 750-plane, land-based air force continually test to see how close they can approach U.S. carriers before they are detected by radar and intercepted by the carrier's own planes. Their aim is to avoid being caught until they have got within 100 miles of the carrier. Reason: from that range, the Russians would have a good chance of scoring a hit with their...

...opposite approach-pure Olympian effort-paid far better dividends for Canada's pert, blue-eyed Nancy Greene, 24. Although she was the defending ladies' Alpine skiing champion, Nancy's chances seemed hopeless after she fell badly last month and strained the ligaments in an ankle.

The site for the complex will be the southern port of Kaohsiung into which...
...Deal, by G. William Marshall (511 pages; Bartholomew House; $6.95) is notable, by contrast, for its more traditional approach. No new-fangled gadgets here; just the plain, old-fashioned dildo. That is understandable, since the plot is a plain, old-fashioned story about the raunchy movie world. The hero is "the Baron," Hollywood's No. 1 superstar. He has a "tremendous problem." He is forever being "laughed out of bedrooms," so he asks the boys over an makeup to fashion a substitute artifact for him. He kills a girl with...
