...when Congress allowed the speed limit to go back up, the stress on tires rose dramatically. Even so, manufacturers insisted that nylon caps produced a more rigid tire with a rougher ride and argued that except for tires subjected to speeds of 110 m.p.h. or more, the synthetic overlays were not needed. Hence most major-brand tires used in the U.S. today lack nylon caps...
...work our way through a booklet and illustrated skills cards along with the videos, practicing on one another and a dummy named Little Anne. She has a rougher day than I do: she chokes, stops breathing dozens of times and rarely has a pulse. The best way to learn practical things is through repetition, and we go through the procedure "check, call, care" - in which one checks an accident scene for safety, calls (or dispatches someone else to call) 911 and then ministers to the victim - countless times. Finally, an instructor tells me that I've restored Anne's breathing...
...some power to their slapshots. On July 5, from the stands of the Burbank Ice Arena, in Reading, Mass., Thomas Junta watched his 10-year-old son shoot the puck. The kid wasn't faring well. Though contact was forbidden, an elbow nearly smashed his nose.

Costin, whose three boys were playing too, reportedly replied, "That's what hockey's all about," and he and Junta traded insults. When Costin left the ice, the men scuffled...
...Sanders Show to Action and back to the movie Network. And some Britcoms, like the wacky-priests' caper Father Ted, prove the Brits can make implausible, laugh-track-saturated work just as well as we, but with poorer production values. The best of the offerings, though, are not just rougher and often saltier than U.S. broadcast-network standards permit; they're genuinely surprising...
...seen No Doubt only four short years ago in a small club in Providence, and the crowd was nothing like this one. They were bigger, older, rougher, more ska-core and punk. The floor then was not violent by Rage Against the Machine standards, catering more to the more gentle colliding of a skank pit. At that time, the opening band was Goldfinger, a light-hearted, prankish, oft-nude precursor to Blink-182. This time, the openers were not nearly as friendly. But the presence of the Suicide Machines did not scare off any of the teenage girls. Rather...
