...Meanwhile Seminary President David Hubbard told a special chapel meeting that Lindsell seeks to draw a sharp line "through the heart of the Evangelical community. The dangers of forcing this cleavage are frightening." Added Hubbard in an interview: "Lindsell has the gas-balloon theory of theology. One leak and the whole Bible comes down. As a result he has to spend all his time patching...
Heavy Hitter. To beef up his goofball outfit, Buttermaker recruits a couple of sawed-off powerhouses. Amanda Whurlitzer (Tatum O'Neal), the tomboy daughter of an old flame of Buttermaker's, is expert in the fine art of the fastball and the spitter; Kelly Leak (Jackie Earle Haley), a local terror who chain smokes and rides a Harley, is a heavy hitter. He also has the hots for Amanda. With Kelly and Amanda on the team, the Bears start...

Because they do not "leak" light as copper wires "leak" electricity, fibers should eliminate the cross talk and static that can occur when one telephone wire spills some of its signal into a neighboring line. Measuring as little as one-thousandth of an inch in diameter, the fibers are also far less bulky than wires -an important consideration in cities, where underground cable conduits are already overcrowded. Eventually, the fibers may also prove cheaper. Supplies of copper are limited; silicon, the chief ingredient of glass fiber, is one of the most plentiful materials...
