...both his legs were fractured twice. His brakeman was thrown free, broke only one leg. Next day the U.S. sled steered by Joe McKillip, 30, slammed into a soft snow wall as it neared the finish line; McKillip was hospitalized with a dislocated shoulder and lacerated cheek. The day after, a Canadian driver's throat was gashed almost from ear to ear when he cracked up on the straightaway in the stretch...

...from New York City, $116 for the 2,225 rniles from Chicago-and the island's 3,435 sq. mi. offer something for everybody. The Miami-minded may wear their mink stoles in the air-conditioned lobbies of the razzle-dazzle hotels on the Condado strip, or lounge cheek by jowl beside the enormous swimming pools of the Caribe Hilton.
