...point, a program was tossed at Player's feet as he was about to drive. When he walked to the tenth tee, someone threw a cup of Coke and ice in his face. Player turned to his tormentor and asked, "What have I done to you, sir?" A small group of dissidents rushed the tenth green as Player and Jack Nicklaus were preparing to putt. The interlopers were quickly hustled off. "The man who threw the Coke called me a racist," Player later complained. "Just because you're from South Africa, it doesn't mean...
...ideal container for prodigal America is the edible ice cream cone. In this vein, there is now much talk about "bio-degradable" bottles and cans. But a container that would quickly dissolve when discarded or immersed in water has yet to hit the market. A Swedish firm, Rigello Pak A.B., claims preliminary success with a cardboard-encased, polyvinyl container that is being tested with beer. The company plans full production early next year.

They can cruise as fast as 35 m.p.h. on the open road, traverse ice, sand, mud and rocks at 15 m.p.h., and make better than three knots in water. Their fiber-glass bodies can absorb excruciating punishment, and their oversize (11-in. by 20-in.) tires, inflated to only 2 Ibs. per sq. in. of pressure, can withstand virtually any shock...
...first of many. It was not long before he endured his first imprisonment and betrayal. Typically, while his colleagues scuttled out of town to escape the police, Kropotkin was caught because he felt obliged to keep his date with the local geological society to expound his theory on the ice cap. A weaver in his "circle" broke his alias to the police. There was no trial. The prince was shut up "at the Czar's pleasure." However, the Czar did allow him books and papers to work ("till sunset only") on his two-volume geography...
