...have since given up alpine skiing and joined the fashionable hordes of cross-country skiers. It's a lot more fun, and a lot warmer. One of the best nights of my freshman year I spent skiing up and down the Yard, occasionally venturing down to the River. And there are for those more adventurous types who lack large families to organize and small children to buy ski boots for, some beautiful places in New Hampshire and Maine that provide excellent cross-country skiing. In fact, Acadia National Park, on Mt. Desert Island in Maine, is reputed to be absolutely...
Thirty-six and a half hours to... takeoff? Lindbergh made it to Paris in less time 50 years ago, when Freddie Laker was a toddler of four. What's more, Lindy did not have a toothache, as did I, and he was warmer and drier. My wait began at noon Sunday in London-style rain and drizzle outside the Laker Travel Center in Queens, New York, five miles from Kennedy Airport. Not until 12:38 a.m. Tuesday-1% hours behind schedule -did we lift off from Kennedy...

Legs are being gussied up-particularly to the advantage of the unbeautiful ones-with thigh-high socks and knee-high socks, cuffers (a.k.a. anklets) and the leg warmers that dancers have worn for years.

Bowling's answer: In the warmer South, dogs are less often kept indoors as house pets, but are left to roam more freely outside than in the cooler North...
Nemiroff, an ardent scuba diver, began his research on a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration after hearing reports of people who had survived long submersion without apparent ill effect. A study of some 60 near drownings convinced him that in warmer waters, the limit for submersion without death or brain damage probably was four minutes. But in waters below 21° C. (70° F.), the four-minute rule seemed to be suspended. Of 15 victims rescued after a minimum of four minutes from the chilly waters that abound in Michigan, Nemiroff found, two died of lung...
