Secretariat's home-ordinarily-is especially serene. Trainer Laurin, who races one of the best strings of horses at Belmont even without Secretariat, has a cluster of buildings all to himself, surrounding an outdoor walking ring and a grazing plot. The area is its own little world, isolated from all outside influence, peopled only by the same familiar faces that work there every day, going about their business with quiet and calming assurance...
During their pioneering mission, Astronauts Charles ("Pete") Conrad Jr., Paul J. Weitz and Joseph P. Kerwin will not lack for elbow room or equipment. In addition to their Apollo command ship, which will remain docked with Skylab, there are four major sections of the cluster: 1) the 22-ft.-wide Orbital Workshop, which contains the astronauts' main living and working quarters; 2) the smaller Multiple Docking Adaptor, which serves as part of the passageway between the Orbital Workshop and the Apollo command ship and contains the complex control panel for Skylab's telescope; 3) the Apollo Telescope Mount...

One of his boots bounced off a pole and before he could correct his course he crashed into the next pole and fell. Still thinking of his UVM teammates, he climbed back up quickly to the gate he had missed and finished his run eight seconds off the pace...
...total of 1,647 house sites of one to five acres were planned, plus 400 clustered units-a high enough density to yield the owners a good return on their investment, but too high to preserve open space and forests. Hanslin got around the problem by grouping his sites in eleven petal-shaped villages that he calls, a bit cutely, "special places." More important, he requires every buyer to deed back to Eastman from 10% to 50% of his land (depending on "what creates the most advantageous site") as permanent open space. In this way, almost 30% of the land...
