PAUL MACCREADY In 1977 one of MacCready's creations, the Gossamer Condor, a kitelike affair powered only by a furiously pedaling cyclist-pilot, flew more than 7 min. Two years later, the Gossamer Albatross, an improved model, was pedaled across the English Channel. In 1981 a pilot took the sun-powered Solar Challenger 163 miles from France to a base in England. No wonder the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1980 named MacCready its Engineer of the Century. In the years since, MacCready has fashioned such marvels as the wing-flapping pterodactyl that flew in the IMAX film...
...said the funniest photo you could find of New York City's November fashion shows was one of designer Bill Blass with his collar popping out, a pant leg looking as if it had a cyclist's clip, and a tie that stopped mid-chest [PEOPLE, Nov. 17].

...giant zippers on their heads, Ivanka Trump with a wedgie you wouldn't believe--and darnit if the funniest shot wasn't of BILL BLASS. Maybe it was the one collar popping out of his jacket, or the way his right pant leg looked as if it had a cyclist's clip on it. But probably it was his tie, which stopped right below his chest. The disheveled-genius look is one thing, but Dilbert just doesn't work on a runway...
...this agonizing choice because the seven minutes required to cross Harvard Yard on foot is "...to much for most Harvard students to sacrifice." Apparently a few minutes of time in the interests of public safety constitutes an unconscionable infringement of right, but injuries sustained under the wheels of a cyclist equates to the citizen's contribution to a just society...
