...earlier match, the fourth-ranked team of Rosie Casals and JoAnne Russell had little trouble in reaching the semifinals as they defeated Marita Redondo and Trish Bostrom, 6-2, 6-4. The winners worked well as a team--"I've got it," shouted Casals, as she drove Bostrom's serve down the middle to win the match...
...Tiriac's baleful glare, dubbed him Dracula. Tiriac began the season strongly with a lot of arguing and baiting at away matches but stopped when the fans booed him. No wrestling villain instincts resided in his lamblike breast. Instead, he became more the helpful doubles partner; he and Pat Bostrom won all their early mixed doubles and their wins seemed to be the triumph of good natured cooperation over querulous, fractious competition...
...rate of movement into the trenches is almost imperceptible-no more than an inch or so a year. But Geophysicist Robert C. Bostrom and Civil Engineer Mehmet A. Sherif think that some of the more conveniently located trenches could be used as efficient geophysical garbage dumps. The trick, they explain in Nature, would be to dump packaged waste into the sea off the mouths of fast-flowing rivers, which annually wash vast amounts of mud into continental trench areas. Though the garbage would not be drawn far into the earth for many years, it would soon be buried so deep...
Dense Packages. Bostrom and Sherif admit that their scheme raises a number of serious technological questions. It would have to be determined, for example, whether a river deposits mud quickly enough to accommodate the projected garbage load. The plan would also be expensive, because the garbage would have to be compressed into dense, sinkable packages and transported by barge to the disposal site. Nevertheless, the two scientists, who are co-directors of the University of Washington's earthquake engineering group, are convinced that their proposal deserves serious scientific consideration. "In an age in which waste material is mass-produced...
