...Forces. Nonetheless, the U.S. has opened another frontier in space, and there is no material reason why it cannot do so on earth if only it has the will. In 1893, Historian Frederick Jackson Turner described the American qualities born of frontier life: "That coarseness and strength combined with acuteness and inquisitiveness; that practical, inventive turn of mind, quick to find expedients; that masterful grasp of material things, powerful to effect great ends; that restless, nervous energy; and withal that buoyancy and exuberance which comes with freedom." All this could be applied to causes even more arduous-and at least...
...Lana Turner knew only too well that she was the model for the lurid 1962 novel Where Love Has Gone, and stopped talking to its author, Harold Robbins (The Carpetbaggers). But by two years ago, she had made peace and signed to star in Robbins' The Survivors, an ABC television series about the jet set he concocted for the forth coming season. That, it turns out, may be grounds to break off relations permanently with Robbins - and just possibly is the worst decision of Lana's 45-movie, seven-husband career. The Survivors has so far proved...
Lake Bowl, in the resort town of McCall, belonged to Oliver B. Turner, 49, an accountant in the Idaho highway department. It was seized, along with Turner's four cars, four houses, his Italian restaurant in Boise and Turner himself, after state auditors last month discovered a $484,326.83 discrepancy during an annual audit.

Attorney General Robert Robson said that Turner had invented his own company name (The B.G.O. Investment Co.) and systematically diverted highway funds by means of 40 separate warrants ranging from about $3,000 to $17,500. Turner has four children and got an official salary of only $11,650, but for all of his cars, houses...
Because the Federal Government matches highway funds by 92% to 8%, the shortage at the state level could eventually cost Idaho $5,000,000, or ten miles of interstate highway. But there is still Lake Bowl. Though Turner's restaurant was closed upon seizure, the alley is yielding a 6 1/2? profit to a special state trust fund for every line bowled. At that rate, it will take 7,451,-182 lines of bowling to recoup the loss -about ten lines each for every man, woman and child in Idaho, or almost 18 years of around-the-clock play...
