...high above them, Professional Stuntman Daniel Goodwin, 25, decked out in the bright red-and-blue costume of that nimble comic-book hero. With 40-m.p.h. winds whipping around him and 50 Ibs. of climbing equipment on his back, Goodwin made the ascent in some 7½ hrs. He hoisted himself on metal hooks that he wedged into the slots designed to hold window-washing scaffolds. When one of those scaffolds was placed in his path, Goodwin simply moved sideways, grabbing suction cups that he placed on the windows. Said he: "There was a coat of grease on the windows...
...pitchers do not yield threatening clouts very often. When they do, the fleetest outfield in baseball (and one of the heaviest-hitting) goes to work.

Félicité, Quebec, where the gondola finally dropped to the ground, 99 hrs. and 54 min. after leaving San Francisco Bay. For once Maxie's mind was not on the next challenge, which he had previously suggested might be a balloon flight around the world. Said he: "I'll leave that for another...
...public. The public always seems to overreact. They're just calling up and saying, 'Sell my stuff! Get out of my position!'" His experience was not unique. At brokerage houses around the city, investors were trying to cut their losses. By 11:30, only 1½ hrs. after trading began, the Dow Jones average was off by 13 points and falling. "I wouldn't call it panic," said Steven J. Hyman, an independent, or so-called $2 broker. "Let's say it's controlled pandemonium...
