...part of the history of JA8119 (the plane's serial number) particularly attracted the probers' attention. On June 2, 1978, the aircraft approached a landing at Osaka with its nose too high. The tail and the rear part of the fuselage slammed into the tarmac at 320 m.p.h.; the impact ripped aluminum skin panels from the belly of the plane. JA8119 was grounded for a month while Boeing engineers supervised repairs that included replacement of the lower part of the rear fuselage...
...millions of book-buying bipeds. Bodywatching repeats such monkey business, this time with illustrations. Morris announces his intention "to treat the body surface as if it were a strange landscape." In practice, this means giving separate chapters and full photographic uncoverage to such geographic features as eyes, ears, nose, neck, shoulders and belly, not to mention those areas that the lads of Monty Python's Flying Circus once referred to as "the naughty bits...
...stolen-cocaine case began last May, when Miami officers seized 850 lbs. of "nose candy" in a raid on a lobster boat. Trouble was, the raiding party had been informed the load would be 1,000 lbs.

The two men were once very close friends, but they now have colliding ambitions...
...mouth type of ball club" that "splatters you." The wishbone running of Freshman Quarterback Jamelle Holieway was well splattered, but then Holieway blithely dropped back and threw a 71-yd. touchdown pass to a wonderful tight end named Keith Jackson. Oklahoma's most splendid players are on the defense: Nose Guard Tony Casillas, Linebacker Brian Bosworth and Safety Sonny Brown. Penn State could not match them, and in fact had to do heroic work just to keep the Sooners kicking field goals. Resolutely, Oklahoma ground out an unlovely victory, 25-10. The Nittany Lions had, after all, won a clutch...
