...career in aerospace, and even to breakthroughs in design. A case in point was Robert C. Manson, who grew obsessed with paper planes as a schoolboy and now, at 26, is a design engineer for Pratt & Whitney in Montreal. He explained: "What makes a paper plane fly well, the lift and balance and aerodynamic design, is what makes a real plane fly well. The principles are the same...
...year-old Mecir has beaten Timmy Connote and Sweden's Mats Wilander this Year and won $15,000 tournaments at Hamburg and Rotterdam, successes that have helped lift him to No. 10 in the world...
...lecture circuit, a hero within her newly adopted Republican Party and probably the most talked-about, albeit undeclared, electoral newcomer on the political scene. Though Kirkpatrick finds the glare of personal celebrity "very unexpected," she is passing up few opportunities to make the most of it. "I get a lift from speaking out," she says.

...more than two decades, starting in 1948 in a Y.M.C.A. in Tulsa, Jones toyed with the idea of a better way to lift weights. While working out with % barbells, he concluded that they are inefficient because they do not correctly apply resistance during an exercise. After many of Jones' experimental rigs failed, the machine that he finally displayed at a Los Angeles fitness show in 1970 solved the problem by employing oddly shaped pulleys that keep a variable amount of resistance on a person's muscles during an entire exercise motion...
