After choosing a width for your skis, the second and a more difficult decision lies in choosing between three alternative ski bottoms. The first option is a pair of inlaid Mohair strips which allow you to glide forwards but provide traction when you push off on one ski to slide forward on the other. This is the first commercial waxless ski and is America's improvement on tying seal skins to the bottom of each...
...used to bull past blockers. All four start with the head butt, driving their helmets into the heads of the opposite offensive linemen like bull moose battling for their lives. Once the offensive lineman has been hit, each man has a specialty. Greenwood likes to use the "slip" move, pushing past his blocker. White prefers to knock his opponent aside with an "uppercut" shove under the shoulder. Holmes is a master of the "club," using one of his blacksmith forearms to belt a blocker to the side, and the "push and pull," in which he pushes a guard off balance...
...opposition for a while, and perhaps even to score. Joe Greene dreams about just that possibility. "I visualize techniques," he says. "Some of them are just ungodly. Run over a guy, hurdle, jump six feet, put three or four moves on him so he freezes. No flaws. Perfect push and pull on the guard, jump over the center. Another blocker, slap him aside.

...creative processes behind Bloomingdale's push to be different are frequently marked by fierce debate. In the same way that stylists and engineers do battle in auto companies, fashion coordinators and buyers are sometimes at odds with each other at Bloomingdale's. Barbara D'Arcy, the store's director of design, wanted a newly styled shoe department in Bloomingdale's new White Plains branch. She called for putting shoes on a kind of stage, accessible by steps. Buyers balked, saying the design would turn off customers. Traub intervened, sided with D'Arcy, and fortunately so. The White Plains store...
...creation in 1930 until he retired in 1962; in Hollidaysburg, Pa. Convinced that "all dope" from marijuana to morphine was dangerous, the bullnecked, bald Anslinger wanted to "get rid of drugs, pushers, and users. Period." He urged judges to jail offenders, then "throw away the key." After Anslinger helped push through the Marijuana Tax Act in 1937, arguing that "an epidemic of dope addiction" was crippling America's youth, marijuana was virtually banned from medical practice and deleted from the United States Pharmacopoeia. Anslinger denounced as "soft" all proposals to legalize drugs or to adopt British-model maintenance programs...
