...NHSRA: "The top is literally being blown off of what we can do because of the new high-tech equipment." Ten years ago, wheelchairs were unwieldy 50-lb. clunkers. Now, thanks to lightweight steel alloys and thin high-pressurized tires, they are sleek and maneuverable chariots, weighing a mere 10 lbs. Space-age plastics and other materials have made artificial legs and feet lighter, stronger, more flexible and resilient, and much more comfortable to wear. At least six models of prosthetic feet are available (cost: $500 to $2,000 each). When amputee Jim MacLaren, 25, of New Haven, Conn., participates...
...American cooking is the theme of The Trellis Cookbook by Marcel Desaulniers (Weidenfeld & Nicolson; $25). Unlike most recipes from restaurant chefs, these from the Trellis Restaurant in Colonial Williamsburg can be managed by mere mortals with only two hands. Some dishes have many steps (grilled smoked lamb with artichokes and slab bacon on fresh-thyme fettuccine), but Desaulniers outlines how to organize ahead. Corn and tomato fritters, roast loin of pork with walnut butter and a chocolate-praline ice cream terrine are winners...

Perhaps, but inexperience can lead to an odd inconsistency. Favored to beat Navy by five touchdowns, the Irish dropped five passes, lost two fumbles, shanked a punt for a mere 10 yds., and got whistled for having twelve men on the field -- all before winning the game 22-7. On the other hand, against 0-8 Rice last Saturday, Notre Dame dazzled with a 54-11 victory. After Rice scored early in the first quarter, the Irish quickly answered with four touchdowns on their first four possessions. Junior fullback Anthony Johnson rushed for two of Notre Dame's seven...
...Santa Maria. May has announced that 100,000 of his hens are now laying eggs with 55% less cholesterol than standard specimens. Instead of the 274 mg long considered to be standard for large eggs by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, May reports that his eggs contain a mere 125 mg of cholesterol. They also contain about 25% less sodium, according to May, whose figures are corroborated by the California state department of food and agriculture...
