...more and more women enter mathematics, the number of female professors will reflect this swing, says Raoul Bott, Graustein professor of mathematics. But in the meantime, women should be encouraged on the elementary and high school levels to pursue their interest in mathematics, says Noam D. Elkies, Loeb professor of the natural sciences...
Daly is well aware of the pitfalls of his contortionist's swing. "I may have to change when I'm 35," he says, "if I still have a back." But for now, Daly believes that the rewards of being able to fly over hazards placed on fairways where mortal golfers risk falling into them, and then following up with shorter, more accurate irons, offset the wild shots...

Daly takes the club farther back, turns through his swing more completely, and follows through more fully than any other touring pro, and still manages to maintain his balance.

A few intrepid customers have signed up for rides ranging from a gentle swing around the airfield to a serious workout at 1,500 m.p.h. The thrills start this weekend at Massachusetts' Westfield-Barnes airport and then continue at shows in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Texas, Kansas and California...
