...Northeastern wasn't about to roll over and play dead. A turning point came when Harvard had to lift goalie Brian Petrovek, who apparently suffered an injury, in favor of backup John Aiken, who was coming off the bench cold...
...addition to his powerful mechanical legs and zoom-lens artificial eye, television's Six Million Dollar Man has an atomic-powered arm that can knock down walls, lift cars and pull out trees by the roots. Reid Hilton's new arm is only slightly less remarkable−and considerably less expensive.

Corporate profits, though still behind those of a year ago, have risen from their lows of early 1975 -and so, say Heller and George Perry, an economist with the Brookings Institution, business spending for new plant and equipment will also pick up. The auto industry, which has been more deeply depressed than almost any other for the past two years, has begun to turn round. Auto sales in October jumped...
