...what you call a sweet victory. I wanted to do it better than Leonard. Tommy predicted the third round: that was the prize. I done did what I had to do. I'm not a politician. I'm a fighter." The next morning, touching the stitch line above his nose, Hagler said, "I'm not scared of blood. Matter of fact, it turns me on sometimes. The monster comes out." He would like to devour someone else before the year is over, for another $5 million to $8 million or much less. An opponent is the problem...

...pterosaur's lack of a tail posed another serious challenge to the engineers; a movable, horizontal tail surface increases the stability and control over pitch (the nose angle, up or down) of a flying object. But MacCready observed that other flying creatures, like the albatross, achieve stability and pitch control by instinctively making small fore and aft movements with their wings. His solution: the latter-day pterosaur will have an onboard computerized autopilot that will effect similar corrections in the attitude of its mechanical wings. That will take some doing. Explains MacCready: "Nature's creatures are very good at active...
...read with fascination about the Soviets doing eye surgery in an assembly-line fashion [MEDICINE, July 1]. However, I was surprised to notice in your photograph that one eye surgeon had his nose outside the sterile mask. I guess that person has three minutes to infect each patient. Richard C.
