...test pilot's ultimate accolade: "The bird is real solid. A good solid bird all the way." From Mission Control came a relieved reply: "Well, we love hearin' it." As Engle's bird approached California's Big Sur country, it was flying faster than a bullet-at ten times the speed of sound-and dropping like a rock, 20 times faster than a similar-size DC-9 jet on landing. Finally, it came out of the blue, a tiny, glistening white speck that wrote a special signature in the sky-intermittent puffs of vapor created...
Just 1:20 into the final stanza, Rogan hit Grieve with a 37-yard pass and the senior made a leaping overhead reception on the Harvard one. An illegal procedure penalty drove Yale back five yards, however, and Rogan's bullet to Grieve over the middle in the end zone was too hot to handle. But two plays later, Diana took a Rogan pitch, accelerated outside the Crimson pursuit and sprinted around right end for the touchdown. Jones capped the 49-yard, seven-play drive with the PAT and with 12:39 remaining in the game, Yale...

Fonda was just the opposite: a triumph of convex geometry, his thin body a question mark that ambled at Stepin Fetchit pace toward a girl or a cause...
Before that scorekeeper's nightmare, striker sensation Kelly Landry gave the Crimson an early 1-0 lead eight minutes into the game. The 15-yd. bullet gives Landry 20 goals for the year, an output which equals Sue St. Louis's record set in the 14-game 1978 season. With at least two games remaining in the booters' season, Landry, who now holds the total points record (20 goals, 7 assists, 27 points), is sure to claim the goals record outright before season...
...their ballots. And it seemed to pay off. Only one Independent council candidate, Donald Fantini, was eliminated. His votes went to other Independents--Vellucci, Leonard J. Russell, Danehy, Daniel F. Clinton and Walter J. Sullivan. Only about ten per cent ended up in the "exhausted" pile (votes reserved for bullet) which has usually been the burying ground for Independent candidates. The same trend seemed evident in early school committee transfers...
