...told a different story-of a wild 40-block chase at 80 m.p.h. and an apparently drunken driver who stepped on the gas just as the investigating officer reached in the window. Taking the stand in his own behalf, Bova, 23, said that the car "gave a sudden lurch forward. My feet were knocked out from under me. I recall making a grab to get my balance. At this time, my revolver was unintentionally fired...
...modified version, it has become the prototype of an eight-legged, walking wheelchair now being evaluated by the University of California at Los Angeles for the use of handicapped children. The boxy gadget resembles an ungainly bug; yet it is capable of sophisticated locomotion. It can travel forward or backward, turn in its own length, climb steps, a 30° slope and an 8-in. curb, cross rough fields, and literally get a toehold in sand or muddy ground that usually bogs down a wheeled vehicle...

She made a marriage but could not make it work. And then one evening in 1939, when she was 25, she walked out of her Boston apartment with thirty dollars in her pocket and was never seen again. Is she dead? Is she living...
After World War II, Portfolio's bomb was revived as a offensive measure when all others failed. But in recent years, as the pressure on Harvard's defense has materially lessened, the forward pass reached its proper sphere as an offensive method of no mean parts...
