...rocks, and pushed over a large boulder to collect soil from underneath it (so scientists can compare the effects of cosmic-ray bombardment on varying soil samples). They drove the rover several hundred feet up Stone Mountain and, after parking it on what they thought was a dangerously steep slope, they simply picked it up and put it down in a more secure spot...
Losing control on a steep icy pitch of New Hampshire's Mount Tecumseh, where she was skiing with seven of her eleven children, Ethel Kennedy landed on her back. Her acrobatics caused boot-top fractures of two bones in her right leg, which were set by doctors at the lodge infirmary. Hardly worth mentioning, however, compared to the snap, crackle and pop of Motorcycle Daredevil Evel Knievel, who, by rough count, broke his 101st, 102nd, 103rd and 104th bones at the Michigan State Fairgrounds last week. The latest fracture of his collarbone and ribs will not, of course, deter...
Seawell, the new chairman and chief, is expected to fire more people. He takes charge at a time when many airlines are in a steep climb; as a group they lost $125 million last year but expect to be well in the black this year.

Colonel Acheampong could hardly disagree with Busia's diagnosis. "I took over to save Ghana from total economic collapse," he told TIME Correspondent Eric Robins. But he brushed aside all specific questions about the country's huge foreign debt of more than $1 billion, its steep inflation and high unemployment. "Economic experts have been given these matters to study," he said. "We will then decide what to do. There will be no hasty decisions, but at the right time we will act decisively...
...efforts to create the pluperfect detective, director Don Siegel leans the movie on a steep right-wing bias. Harry is more than a policeman, he is an avenging god. He has the strength and endurance of ten because his heart is pure law-and-order. Harry succeeds in tracking down the killer, only to see him slip away under the cloak of snivelling libertarianism. The district attorney, backed by an intellectual judge from Berkeley, informs Harry that the criminal's rights were violated. This inverted bit of deus ex machina gives Scorpio time to terrorize a busload of children...
