...Energy Bonus. For their new machine, CERN's planners adopted an ingenious strategy. After being accelerated in the usual way in CERN's 28-BeV synchrotron, protons are deflected with powerful magnets into two large concentric rings. Particles are sent alternately in clockwise and counterclockwise directions in the interlaced vacuum tunnels (see diagram, previous page). The result is two opposing beams of protons, each packing a wallop of 28 BeV, which can meet nearly head-on at eight different points where the rings intersect. In those collisions between protons, both particles can be made to come virtually...
...first day of Christmas the Minnesota Vikings gave the Dallas Cowboys four intercepted passes, three costly turnovers, two bonus field goals and a fumble in a careless spree. During the regular season, the Vikings boasted the stingiest defense in the league (average points allowed per game: ten), but they were not able to contain the Cowboys' explosive offense.

...option of "deferring tuition" until they graduated and got a job. Thus, in return for schooling from grades one through twelve, a child might contract to pay the school four per cent of his annual earnings. Such a system--already being tried at the university level--has an added bonus; it gives the school an incentive to educate its students well. The better educated and motivated the child, the more he will tend to earn, and the more the school gets paid. A deferred tuition system might thus prove very popular even with families that could afford to pay outright...
Odoms excels at taking a pass up the middle and then powering his way through tacklers. "And." adds one scout, "he gives you that extra bonus - oh, how "he can block!" Often compared to the Baltimore Colts' bulldozing John∧ Mackey. Odoms hauled in 45 passes this season, for an average gain...
