Touch football, swimming, skateboarding, scuba diving, hang gliding, golf, skiing, riding, surfing, bowling, basketball, volleyball-all sports have their share of problems. But more and more injuries are the outcome of America's newest athletic addiction: running. Appropriately, the damage tends to occur from the ground up. A typical distance runner's foot strikes the ground 1,000 times a mile each seven to ten minutes, and the force of impact is about three times his weight. The shock wave travels from heel through ankle to lower leg, knee, upper leg, hip and lower back. Ill effects...
...deal is approved by the European governments involved-indeed, Britain may torpedo it -Peugeot would become the biggest auto manufacturer in Europe and fourth largest in the world, with sales right behind those of Chrysler itself. Chrysler would get out of the European market completely, except for its 15% share in Peugeot, thus shedding 70% of its foreign production and about a fourth of its worldwide output.

...Chairman John Riccardo and President Eugene Cafiero spoke of a need to concentrate the company's resources in North America. The point could be put more bluntly: Chrysler is so strapped for cash to spend at home that it can no longer afford aspirations to global power.

They do not think that they live ostentatiously and often wonder where the money goes. They eat out three times a week, share a summer house and own a nine-year-old TV and a '69 Olds. They have about $10,000 in savings and investments. "We don't go in for speedboats and expensive clothes," says Janice, "but we really don't have to make very hard decisions on what...
Banker Abboud, 49, also has liabilities. The $3.4 million loan that he approved for fellow Democrat Bert Lance still embarrasses him; and many officers have left First Chicago because Abboud has a short fuse-befitting a man who is 5 ft. 6 in. and expects everybody to share his own I-made-it-the-hard-way workaholism. But few question that he runs a top bank; last year First Chicago Corp.'s assets rose 14% to $22.6 billion. Or that he comes forth with some unstarchy ideas from behind his stiff collars and vested suits...
