This year, probably no one beats the Crimson at pole-vaulting. Steve Schonover bursts into varsity track as an advanced-placement sophomore; he soared to 14' 4 1/2" at Niskayuna High in New York and he should vault 14 feet Saturday despite a sore leg. That is still a generous 1-4 inch above the previous mark set by Truman Ford...
Acting on a tip, Leoni's secret police had closed in the night before, found bunks, medical supplies and a Russian flag in the building. A heavy, hydraulically operated concrete door led to a cavern in the hillside behind the house. There, in a vault-shaped room, was an impressive arsenal of weapons: a 20-mm. cannon, a 3.5-in. bazooka, stacks of rifles, pistols, homemade mortar tubes and hundreds of shells, grenades and shaped demolition charges. With lathes, presses and other tools-and a gasoline generator to power them-terrorists had been turning out enough arms to supply...
While heavenly choirs compete with thunderous organ, all the significant moments of Michelangelo's ordeal are painstakingly recreated. His inspiration for the Sistine vault occurs on a mountain-top at sunrise in exquisitely detailed cumulus clouds. He rushes to a battlefield where Julius marvels at Michelangelo's preliminary sketches while enemy cannon balls redden the earth around them. "I planned a ceiling, he plans a miracle," declares the Holy Father, then to his troops: "What are you waiting for? Attack!" And Agony skirts the question of the artist's homosexuality in provocative...
...time lead, coasted to their second straight win (first score: 81-38) over an outclassed Russian team. In other events at the games, Texas' Randy Matson uncorked a toss of 66 ft. 7⅝ in. to win the shotput; and Florida's John Pennel won the pole vault, jumping...
...each cluster, the Montana seismometers are set like spokes in a wheel, and at the center of each wheel is a small vault housing instruments for collecting the seismic signals. After the signals are picked up and amplified, they are translated into digital data and transmitted over telephone lines and radio to a data-processing center in a converted poolroom 140 miles away in Billings. The signals are eventually sent to M.I.T.'s Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Mass., where computers are programmed to determine more precisely the source and direction of the vibrations and whether they were caused...
