...DeMars should be a real threat in the hammer, and in the discus, Gil Bain had his best performance ever against the Big Green and should be in contention. The shot has been a heavy Northeastern event, but DeMars and Jay Hughes have the potential to pick up some points with the first five places scoring.

...long way away, but it's as close as North Cambridge where Bolt, Beranek and Newman works on antisubmarine warfare devices.

Seismic sensors--disguised as tropical plants and animal droppings--detect ground vibrations caused by human movement. The information from both types of sensors is relayed to the central computer in Thailand, where it is used to determine bombing targets. (Although "people sniffers" can now distinguish between Americans...
