...culmination of 20,000 hours of labor over ten years. And to Peggy Fleming, 19, a raven-haired Colorado College coed, the effort was all worthwhile when she stepped onto the winner's podium at Grenoble last week and heard played The Star-Spangled Banner for the first and perhaps only time in the 1968 Winter Olympics. "This feeling," said Figure Skater Fleming, "can never be shared-even by the richest people...

That distinction belongs to Peggy Fleming, 19, a pretty brunette from Colorado Springs, who started winning U.S. titles in 1964 when she was only 15. She kept winning them every year since, and in the 1964 Olympics, her first taste of international competition, she finished sixth. Since then, she has won two world championships-in 1966 and 1967-largely on the strength of her balletlike grace. At Philadelphia, she drew a standing ovation for her final "spread eagle-double axel-spread eagle" (after coasting along with her feet at a 180° angle, she leaps, turns 21 times around...

At Snowmass, Bill Janss, 49, a millionaire Los Angeles land developer and onetime U.S. Olympic Team skier, has carved out 2,000 acres of slopes with 50 miles of trails and five double-chair lifts on Mount Baldy (13,-162 ft.), which have already matched the ski area of the three nearby mountains served by the town of Aspen proper...

...obtained simply by drilling a well into a formation of gas-bearing rock. Natural underground pressures then force the gas through pores in the rock into the well casing, enabling producers to tap large natural-gas reserves with relatively few wells. In large areas of New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Arizona, however, much of the natural gas is held in relatively nonporous rock that prevents the flow of all but small quantities of gas into wells, making them uneconmical to drill and operate. Engineers have increased the flow of these wells by fracturing the surrounding rock...
