In Idaho's First District, Republican Louise Shadduck, 39, is just beginning to make progress against 50-year-old Incumbent Democrat Grade Pfost (pronounced, as in her 1952 campaign slogan, "Tie Your Vote to a Solid Post").

Intended for high-altitude research, the rocket has climbed 200 miles, reaching the peak speed of 6,864 m.p.h. The first two stages are solid-propellant boosters of the type used to toss the Army's Nike missile into...
WHEN A New Jersey clothing chain opened a new branch at Union Township one day this month, 20,000 first-day shoppers from a 30-mile radius jammed highway 22 for four solid miles. Main reason for the stampede: the store opened on a Sunday, thus permitting entire families to do their shopping together. Such booming Sabbath business has become a nationwide phenomenon-and one of the hottest controversies in U.S. retailing...
