Speech errors, such as slips of the tongue and odd pauses, often reveal lying, Ekman says, but body language provides the richest lode of information because liars usually do not bother to conceal it. When he showed volunteers films of several nursing students, some of whom had been told to lie, those volunteers who saw only soundless, neck-down films of the students were able to identify the liars and truth tellers about 65% of the time. A control group that studied only the faces and heard the words of the nurses got 50% of the answers correct, no better...
...making a $5 million profit. He used that money in a joint venture with the Pohlad family of Minneapolis to buy nearly $300 million worth of property and uncollected bills from bankrupt retailer W.T. Grant for the fire-sale price of $44 million. Says he: "That was the mother lode that got it all going." It earned him the nickname Irv the Liquidator...
...other Miami players, especially the most grizzled veterans, refer to Marino in fond terms. Twelve-year Guard Ed Newman talks of protecting "the mother lode 4 yds. behind me." For bench-pressing 510 lbs. and conquering thyroid cancer, Newman is acknowledged as the strongest person on the team, possibly the most poetic.

Now I think we all feel like we're part...
They need not worry long. Writer-Producer Harve Bennett knows where the gold is buried in this galaxy, and always hustles back to that lode of entertaining verities that have for so long sustained Star Trek. It features as ghastly a group of interstellar pirates, the Klingons, as ever entered the star log, plus a spectacularly self-destructive planet and plenty of technically adroit and sometimes witty special effects. These are classic directorial occasions, and Nimoy rises to them with fervor, in effect beaming his film up onto a higher pictorial plane than either of its predecessors. One might...
Among the first Indian entrepreneurs to tap the lode were Maine's Penobscots, in 1976. Their reservation games were modest, run only on Sundays. The last was just before Thanksgiving: Maine authorities have managed to cut the high-stakes jackpots (from up to $5,000 a game to $200) because the Penobscots agreed in 1980 not to be treated as a sovereign reservation. Officials in Washington State, Arizona and Oklahoma are now trying to control Indian games. However, federal appellate courts ruled as recently as 1982 that if a state allows any bingo gambling-and 42 do-then...
