...Pendleton, Calif., as executive officer of an ordnance and maintenance company, she worked hard until the day before she gave birth. Her labor lasted just three hours. Said she: "I credit that to the great physical conditioning of the Marine Corps." Another military mother, Captain Diane Cook, 30, of Dover Air Force Base, Del, worked twelve-hour shifts until a week before her daughter was born. "I had morning sickness," she said, "but I arranged to have it at night...
...more coal. The nation already has the respected Economist (circ. 66,000), regional editions of TIME (78,000) and Newsweek (40,000), as well as six London Sunday papers (combined circ. 18,300,000) that are sped overnight on Britain's excellent rail system to steepled hamlets from Dover to Dundee. Last week Sir James Goldsmith, 46, pugnacious publisher (France's weekly L'Express) and multimillionaire food tycoon, set out to prove the cynics wrong...

Born into a wealthy Brahmin family with 300-year-old roots in Boston and eight Massachusetts Governors among its scions, the long-jawed, rawboned "Salty" had a face so honest and distinctive it was called his best political asset. After serving 13 years in the state legislature, he won glory and the governorship by defeating Boston's scandal-tainted...
...this year nearly 68,000 (up 33% from 1978) paid between $10 and $30 a ticket to watch the jousting. Although the sport was born in the South and is still centered there, NASCAR's Grand National circuit, which uses only late-model sedans, visits Brooklyn, Mich., Dover, Del., and Ontario, Calif. Last year more than 1.5 million fans watched the races, and purses rose to $4.8 million, a 50% increase in five years. This season the money will climb to over $5 million. And this year, for the first time, national TV carried an entire race live; CBS covered...
