Unlike the first two recalls, which were the result of foul-ups by G.M.'s corps of highly praised engineers, the latest error was caused by workers on the speedy production line. Just how, nobody really knows. G.M. has traced the problem to its plant in Buffalo, which has been making G.M. parts for no less than 50 years. It is believed that defective shafts were accidentally shipped to the Vega assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio, instead of being placed in specially colored orange chutes reserved for faulty parts. At the Buffalo plant the machine operators work under...
...which created a unique status for baseball among professional sports, was a poor one. Justice William O. Douglas, one of the dissenters, called it "a derelict in the stream of law." Said Justice Thurgood Marshall: "We do not lightly overrule our prior constructions of federal statutes, but when our errors deny substantial federal rights... we must admit our error and correct it." The rights involved were those of former St. Louis Cardinal Outfielder Curt Flood. He had charged that baseball's "reserve clause," which binds all players to the teams that own their contracts, prevented him from freely marketing...

...continuous bearings pointing toward any predetermined destination; it will supply the plane's exact position throughout the trip and immediate corrections whenever the plane veers off course. If the pilot should make a mistake in punching out his route on the keyboard of R-Nav's computer, "error" or "confirm" will be flashed by a cathode-ray tube on his instrument panel. The equipment, in fact, is so versatile that its proponents promise an extraordinary list of payoffs, ranging from increased air safety to greater traffic capacity at existing airports to the reduction of noisy descents over crowded...
Cornell nearly blew the game open in its first time at bat. A walk and an infield error on a sacrifice bunt put men on first and second with one out and Boettcher made up for his error with a run-producing single. But after walking the next batter to fill the bases. Brayton got out of the inning with a strike out and a grounder to second...
