...were performed at the Sacramento Invitational by Pole Vaulter John Pennel. With both legs bandaged to protect painful shin splints, Pennel cleared the bar on his second attempt at 17 ft. 10¼ - a new world mark by Win. It was the ninth time that Pennel has broken the world record in a career plagued by injuries and hard luck. He went into the 1964 Olympics with a wrenched back and finished eleventh. During the finals in Mexico, he was twice thrown off balance, pole in hand, by a mad flourish of trumpets heralding an awards ceremony. On his second...
...conveyor belts. As they pass, the eggs are infected by lab technicians working through the cabinet walls with heavy rubber gloves and hypodermic needles. Sample eggs are then candled to determine whether the agent is properly infecting the embryos.

That potential purchasing power could provide a lift to the market, but investors are awaiting signs of a loosening of credit. The signs may be a long time coming. Last week Thomas O. Waage, vice president...
Toperoff suffers through it all-setting out each morning in the delusion that he is a god who will ordain the outcome of the race, often going home at night a broken peasant, cursing the fates. In effect, he becomes existential man, laughing at his own rueful destiny. When Mulligan dies, he makes Toperoff promise to bet all his meager savings in one last post-mortem race. It is his horseplayer's fitting, feckless (not to mention luckless) bid for immortality...
