...fourth quarter, Ken Tsunoda replaced Jacobs as the Cabot-North signal-caller and promptly completed a perfect pass to Paul (G.O.) Vallone at Lowell's 4-yd. line. After a Roper touchdown was called back because of a holding penalty, Tsunoda pump-faked, scrambled out of the pocket, and lofted a touchdown pass to Zurasky...
Skiing conjures up images of fresh mountain air and cool, clean white slopes. In Vermont, however, these crystalline visions have been replaced by a less refreshing proposition: several of the state's ski resorts, hard pressed by a chronic lack of water at high altitudes, want to pump treated sewage through their snowmaking equipment. So far Vermont's environmental conservation agency has not approved the innovation. The proposal has set off a battle between environmentalists and resort owners. One bumper sticker reads, KILLINGTON: WHERE THE AFFLUENT MEET THE EFFLUENT. Killington officials and local developers are not amused. C.E. ("Cowboy") Snodgrass...
...compacted clay approximately 40 ft. thick has been laid below the bottom of the hole. On top of this virtually impermeable bed, workmen are placing a plastic liner to be topped by a plastic-grid system that will collect and direct any seepage into a series of sump pumps. Above the grid will be another plastic liner, another layer of clay and yet more plastic. A plumbing system will pump rainwater out of the area. Nearby, the company is spending $1.6 million to improve its large surface collection tanks, made of concrete lined with epoxy, that receive waste from steel...
...metal, pink clapboard and silver tanks. One large white building is marked only by a tiny skull-and-crossbones label on the door.

Their gas masks hung nearby, just above the spot where a dark little stream flows from the toxic site under the fence and away into the forest. For now, the locals who are worried are waiting...
Indeed, that day a large part of Washington had paused and, like gladiators preparing for a mighty struggle, gathered in clusters to pump each other up. Some news organizations crafted questions that might flummox or embarrass the President. A few of the old-line institutions like the Associated Press still caution their reporters to seek enlightenment rather than drama, but they stand in a minority. More of the participants at these events believe that both their editors and the public want to see a confrontation. The White House works to avoid it, so few surprises emerge, though there is endless...
