Harvard will also need to move several players up the ladder to replace Atwood and Gonzalez at three and four. Quasha and Gordon had such an easy time in the lower ranks that they should be able to meet greater competition. Wiegand, who never reached his full potential last year, may pass them both...
...this thing breaks," muttered Jackie Gleason, gingerly hoisting his 225-Ib. bulk up a ladder, "the whole joint closes." On the rooftop of his "weird castle," Gleason clinked a teacup against beer cans held by construction workers and admired the traditional "topping-out" tree, signifying that exterior construction had been completed on his dream house near Fort Lauderdale. "We'll never get in before Christmas," he sighed. It will be worth the wait. Sprawling over five levels, Gleason's house has 14 rooms, "at least" five bars, and a price tag of $500,000. There are only...
APOLLO 15 Astronaut Dave Scott was hardly exaggerating. As he stepped off the ladder of his moon ship Falcon to become the seventh man to walk on the lunar crust, Scott faced the most awesome terrain ever explored: stark mountains, treacherous gorges, strange mounds and craters.

He was holding the stewardess so close that twice she stepped on his foot. "What are you trying to pull?" he demanded. Then, for a moment, he pulled three steps away from her. FBI Agent Kenneth Lovin, who had been tracking Obergfell in his hairline sight from about 75 yds. away, fired. The first bullet slammed into the skyjacker's right shoulder and came out the left. He dropped to the ground, scrabbling to reach his pistol, and Lovin...
