...proved awkward in at least one of their space missions. Before Cosmonaut Aleksei Leonov could leave Voskhod II for his space walk, he had to breathe pure oxygen (to rid his body of dissolved nitrogen and avoid the possibility of bends). He then entered an air lock, sealed his suit, gradually lowered its pressure to about 3 lbs. per sq. in. (so that it would be less inflated and more flexible) and only then was able to open the outer hatch and step into space, still breathing pure oxygen. By contrast, U.S. astronauts, always breathing oxygen at reduced pressures...
...member Auto Workers union, the federation's largest, will consider whether or not to pull out of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. altogether. With the Teamsters and United Mine Workers among unions already outside the fold, a U.A.W. secession, especially if other member unions follow suit, would shatter any illusion of domesticity in the house of labor, if not break up the marriage itself...

...cases. Easter v. Segelbaum, decided in Washington state, is typical. Easter, who had been standing in a tow line, successfully recovered damages from Segelbaum, who had come whizzing off the end of the trail, slicing one of Easter's left leg tendons. But most collisions result in no suit, in part because no rule clearly spells out who is to blame. In Europe, where skiing ranks right behind traffic and industry as the leading everyday accident hazard, the problem is more serious...
