...Oklahoma City Attorney John Merritt had a problem. He had to prove that his now paralyzed client had been going only 45 m.p.h., the legal limit, when he wrecked his car trying to avoid a county maintenance truck parked just over the crest of a hill. The defendants, owners of the truck, insisted that the driver must have been doing more than 85 m.p.h.

With each team receiving a set of downs to score from the ten--House football's own version of the Oklahoma tiebreaker--Mike Ealy's seven-yard toss to halfback Ronnie Townsend, who was standing alone in the endzone put Currier temporarily in the lead, 6-0.

One was New Hampshire Republican Warren Rudman; nominally uncommitted, he was actually lobbying on its behalf before formally announcing his support. Another was Democrat David Boren of Oklahoma, who said he was leaning against the sale after visiting Saudi Arabia last April, but then began arguing in its favor with Democratic conservatives. Louisiana's Long had already promised the President his support if the vote were close. So had Republicans John Heinz of Pennsylvania and Robert Kasten...
...fastest growing trading organizations is Barter Systems Inc. of Oklahoma City. Founded five years ago by three men who had run small swapping clubs, the company now has 62 trading centers around the U.S. that arranged for $100 million worth of barters last year, up from less than $1 million during its first year of business. One Barter Systems missive to some of its 25,000 clients earlier this year: WANTED: $300,000 WORTH OF DRIED MILK OR CORNFLAKES, IN RETURN FOR AN AIRPLANE OF EQUAL VALUE. In another case, Barter Systems helped a tire company trade a jet airplane...
