...Swimming Federation's International Center for Aquatic Research in Colorado Springs, more than 10,000 swimmers have been tested on a swimming treadmill called a flume, in which their oxygen intake is measured and evaluated as they exercise. Sessions in the flume showed that Dara Torres, a specialist in the 100-m freestyle, needed to enhance her anaerobic system with more sprint repetitions. Such evaluations are also helping athletes settle on the right amount of training. Swimmers reach a peak after 12 weeks of intensive work and then need a tapering-off period...
...that such electoral-vote powerhouses as Florida and Texas will probably remain with the G.O.P. But they believe that Al Gore will help secure the border states and that Clinton will do almost as well in the Northeast as Dukakis did in 1988. Both sides think Washington, Oregon and Colorado will go for Clinton, and the President's men concede privately that the biggest prize of all, California, will probably be Clinton's.

Shooting the spots sometimes involved tricky logistics, as TIME promotion director Timothy Nix discovered when he supervised one illustrating our cover story on the beleaguered Colorado River and its effect on the nation's water system. The ad required a lone trout to swim in a tank as the water level rose and fell. Tim reports that 200 fishy hopefuls were brought in from a trout farm, under the care of a trained trout wrangler. Dozens had to be auditioned before the admakers found a star fish capable of navigating the ups and downs of the role. "I kept saying...
...chose a relatively good place and time to strike. Sunday's powerful early-morning jolt -- 7.4 on the Richter scale in contrast to 7.1 for the 1989 San Francisco Bay area quake -- shook people from their beds and houses from their foundations and was felt as far away as Colorado and Washington. But it was centered in the sparsely populated Mojave Desert, some 100 miles east of Los Angeles. A second quake, with a Richter rating of 6.5, struck an even more remote region in the San Bernardino Mountains, 20 miles closer...
