...reports. Don't. They aren't. Recently Killington, probably one of the more reliable areas in New England, called their morning report in to Ellis Ski Information. They made no mention of the fact that it was raining; only that the snow conditions were excellent--on a 75ft. swath of snow. Ellis (800-243-6600 is their toll-free number) tries to keep up with all the weather and latest changes, but many tired fools have arrived after a five hour drive to find a big puddle of a sheet of ice at the base of the slopes...
...Vanguard's wing hit a tree, and the plane spun into a wooded plateau under full power, cutting a swath through the firs as the front part of the fuselage disintegrated in a shower of metal fragments and human bodies. Of the 144 aboard, only 39 survived...
...site of this experiment is a new vacation community called Eastman, a 3,500-acre swath of forests, lakes and hills in southern New Hampshire. The property's actual owners-Dartmouth College, the Manchester Bank, United Life & Accident Insurance Co. and the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests-searched for months to find somebody to resolve their almost contradictory requirements. They wanted Eastman to be a high-quality development that also would include some low-priced housing while conserving as much land as possible-and all to be sold at a profit.

San Antonio, Texas, has long yearned for a new 9.7-mile highway link between Interstate 34 and Interstate Loop 410. Engineers have routed the asphalt swath right through some of the city's least built-up land, which unfortunately includes about 250 acres of the heavily used Brackenridge and Olmos Basin public parks. Aroused local conservationists, while arguing unsuccessfully for another, more expensive route for the road, successfully stymied the project in court. For one thing, the proposed road violates the Transportation Act, which bans federally...
Early on, the Communists had cut a wide swath through Binh Long, "liberating" several hamlets and overrunning the 5th Division logistics base at Loc Ninh. Backed by their Soviet-made artillery and tanks, several thousand regulars of the North Vietnamese 5th and 9th Divisions then surrounded An Loc and its 12,000 defenders, who included a ranger battalion and remnants of two battered 5th Division regiments...
