...case with most pulling power hitters. A lefthanded hitter (who throws rightie), he sprays the field like a grounds keeper's sprinkler; inside pitches are pulled, outside pitches go rocketing into left field, and, on the odd occasion when a careless hurler puts one down the pipe, the ball goes up the middle. Opponents cannot concoct a latter-day version of the Williams Shift-loading the defense to blanket a portion of the park-in hopes of stopping Carew. He thus has a lot of territory where they ain't.

...movie than a bloodthirsty sadist's splicing of Technicolor newsreels. Even when the story--such as it is--gets going, the movie sidetracks for occasional carnage when it can't salvage enough from the plot itself.

Some sectors of the pipe are flexible enough to withstand earthquakes that register 8.5 on the Richter scale-greater than the devastating 1964 Alaska quake that destroyed 30 blocks of downtown Anchorage. The entire system can be shut down in ten minutes if the pipeline breaks. A maximum of 50,000 bbl. can spill; valves at various intervals can be turned to stop the flow...

One line would parallel the oil pipe; the other two would swing across Canada into the U.S. The Canadian government is expected to decide in August whether to approve one, or neither, of these routes, and the Carter Administration has until Dec. 1 to choose one of the three. Each carries a price tag of $8 billion to $ 11 billion, but nobody doubts that by the time the job is finished-probably...
