RANGERS vs. FLAMES: The Flames are fighting to stay in Atlanta and vanquish ghosts of post-seasons--five straight opening round failures--past. The Rangers (who haven't beaten Atlanta at Madison Square Garden in nine tries), looking to repeat last year's trip to the finals, will douse the Flames in three hard fought contests. Or maybe...
...some physicians believe that even if symptoms do show up, the test is so artificially structured that the results are suspect. Declares Internist Leonard Madison of Southwestern Medical School in Dallas: "Hypoglycemia is a normal response to the glucose tolerance test. Man was not built to take an overload of glucose like that. Look at it this way: if you run up a flight of stairs and find yourself short of breath, it does not mean you have heart disease."

MULTIPLYING on campuses from Cambridge to Madison, the big red-and-white buttons glint like badges of honor. They attest to the wearer's rare intellectual discernment in recognizing the merit of Rep.

When the Soviets returned from intermission, they came out playing as if they...
...Luis is based on a real-life Spaniard code-named Arabel, who blithely invented espionage in Lisbon for the Germans and worked legitimately for the British during the war. Robinson, 48, a Cantabrigian who lives in a Surrey village Wodehousefully named Chipping Sodbury, worked for eight years as a Madison Avenue copywriter to finance his career as a novelist. The experience appears to have sharpened his sense of irony. He writes lyrically of the terrain of Spain, of the "vast and seamless tent" of sky above Madrid. Like his hero, who never set foot in England, Robinson has never even...
