Sheathed in a tight skirt, Princess Margaret, 31, showed a bit of thigh as she hopped behind Husband Tony for her first spin on a motorcycle in rural Somersetshire and was promptly knocked from pillion to post by London fashion editors who thought "chic and cheerful" trousers would have been more suitable. Nothing fazed, Meg cheerfully let herself in for more complaints about royal overexposure by showing up at a London theater in a one-strap evening gown that displayed a dazzling expanse of shoulder...
Chazen and John L. Chamberlain III in the New England Journal of Medicine, power mowers act exactly like missile launchers. And a dangerous wound may be devilishly hard to find.

A child in the next yard may not realize what...
...back up stories high in the pipes of tall apartment buildings. A high-sudsing syndet falling through a pipe from the 15th floor may enlarge itself 17,000 times by the time it hits the basement.

Standard's particular specialty-business forms printed in continuous rolls with holes punched at regular intervals down each side-spin through the high-speed printers of almost every major U.S. corporation.

...Quart. Under the hood, the news is turbines. The Chrysler Corp.'s superbly smooth version of this engine, which runs on any inflammable fluid (the publicity department likes to take a car for a $500 spin on a quart of Arpege). is the engineering department's answer to slumping sales. Chrysler is using it in the Dodge Turbo Dart and Plymouth Turbo Fury. Britain's entry: the Rover T4, which was exhibited next to Rover's first turbine, the Jet I, demonstrated twelve years ago. All in all, the show was a record breaker: 450 entries...
