Some goalies steep themselves in humiliation for hours when they miss a shot. Glenn Hall once said: "Having a goal scored against you is like getting your pants taken down in front of 15,000 people." Though Parent is not exactly light-hearted about giving up goals, he can take some with a grin. In a game against Buffalo last year, Sabre Left Winger Rick Martin sent a hard shot screaming over Parent's shoulder into the net. When Bobby Clarke skated by the Flyer goalie to encourage him, he heard Parent laughing and saying behind his mask...
...skiers had just finished a week of training on the steep slopes, of Cannon Mountain, and were surprised by the shallow pitch of the slope chosen for the giant slalom. While they had been skiing well in Hampshire, the hard edging techniques that they acquired were not the fastest way down the flat OS course. Raines, Adler and sophomore Peter Anton finished a disappointing 29th, 31st, and 38th respectively. Peter Andersen of Dartmouth sporting a skin tight silvery blue downhill suit won the race with a technically superb...
...practical side, Syndicated Columnists Sylvia Porter and Jane Bryant Quinn skillfully translate economic trends into lucid prose helpful to consumers. Beyond these exceptions and a few others, the fall-off in quality is steep. Many local papers rely heavily on Associated Press and United Press International for national coverage. The A.P.'s Gregory Nokes and U.P.I.'s Gene Carlson dutifully summarize the zigzags of Washington policymaking and the fluctuations of various indicators, but neither wire service often attempts to dig below the surface...
...plane approached the speed of sound in steep dives, the air would begin piling up along the leading edges of its wings, creating shock waves that reduced lift and sent the craft out of control. Johnson's innovative solution: the addition of a braking flap on the underside of the wings. When the flap was lowered, it smoothed the flow of air and restored control. To overcome the P-38's heavy "stick loads" or stiffness of controls during high-speed maneuvers, he was equally creative: he introduced hydraulic boosters like those now used in power steering...
...electric company. Yet the OECD conclusions are in line with the arguments Ford has been hearing in recent weeks that a "floor" price of about $11 per bbl. of oil would be the most effective way to reduce imports and increase self-sufficiency. Still, the costs will be steep, perhaps impossibly so for those countries that, unlike the U.S., have only limited energy resources...
