"We can't seem to make enough of them," says John Mariotti, president of Huffy Bicycles, the country's largest manufacturer, "or charge high enough prices." Costs range from $150 to $3,000, the latter for a custom-made model. Today 5 million Americans ride mountain bikes, compared with 200,000 in 1983, and the BFA expects the total to climb 70% in 1988.

...deep gorge rang with battle. Three other Italian officers were wounded but fought on while the Ethiopians stubbornly resisted the Italian advance. At nightfall, with the battle line 7,000 feet up in the mountains, the Ethiopian line suddenly broke. Through field glasses General Mariotti could see the Ethiopians scrambling like goats still higher up the mountain, disappearing to the south. At dawn the Askaris rallied for a grandiloquent charge with bayonets and curved swords. That afternoon Azbi was captured...
