Overall, the victory was not a particularly impressive one over a Dartmouth program that is considering dropping out of Division I competition. Yet for a team that was described by senior Bill McClosky as "a little broken down and tired," it was a solid...
...Soviets' most significant gain in this period came in submarine-launched missiles. While concerned about the Soviet submarine buildup, Pentagon analysts remain confident that the U.S. retains a solid superiority in the highly elusive submarine deterrent and see no imminent breakthrough in submarine detection that would jeopardize this advantage...

Manufacturers Hanover, for example, watched its stock price drop by nearly 11% in one day because of an unfounded rumor that it was in trouble...
...first experiment, begun last fall, the satellites provided some indication that the magnetosphere presents a more solid barrier to the solar wind than had previously been believed. Soaring beyond the magnetosphere, the Christmas comet will enable scientists to study the effects of the solar wind on an object without a magnetic field. The West German satellite will release the barium, while the British craft records the progress of the comet, measuring the tail and noting how long it takes for the solar wind to disperse it. The U.S. satellite will track how much barium is able to penetrate the magnetosphere...

"They were the first attempt at a radical departure in bicycle design," says Huffy's Michael Melton, technical director of the U.S. cycling team, who developed them. In Los Angeles, the Funny Bikes' riders pedaled to five medals...
