...THAT WAS how matters stood for many years. Oh, there was an embellishment here, an adornment there, and not all of these were without significance. There was the addition of gates to the increasingly abstract network of features: various targets or spinners might alter the topography of a machine by opening or closing a gate. There was a short-lived trend toward multiball games, with certain holes shooting a second or third ball into play while the first was still active. But these were no better than tail fins on a design moving steadily toward obsolescence. Until Bally created Wizard...
...purposes at this stage, any target is a good one. His verbal hooks and jabs are aimed, above all, to hype the gate. Locally there may be no need. Filipinos are such boxing fanatics that when former World Junior Lightweight Champion Gabriel ("Flash") Elorde goes shopping with his wife, he brings along his gloves to oblige admirers who want to show their stuff. There probably will be few empty seats at the coliseum in nearby Quezon City when Frazier and Ali square off Oct. 1 (Sept. 30 in the U.S., which is on the other side of the international date...

A typical transmission we picked up in Illinois went like this: 'Breaker 10 [the emergency frequency], this is Buffalo Bill in an 18-wheeler rolling by Mile 78 on 1-90 North. Got an overturned camper here, lots of smokeys [police] in the area...
...complexity, his labels do not. She is diagnosed as "a do-good mystico-religious personality" with a "hairshirt complex," and her sexual frustrations are rather cavalierly attributed to a chronic case of "nympholepsy"−the desire for an ecstasy so sublime that no mortal can satisfy it. Gate also makes Sand do some special pleading for viewpoints that are clearly his own. He conjectures, for instance, that "were she alive today, Sand would regard the militant crusaders of women's liberation as 'mentally depraved'"−which is to say, if George Sand were alive today, she would...
