...reverently returned my handbook to my camera pack and decided to track down someone who could enlighten me as to what was going on. I corraled Paul D. Weaver, Assistant Director and Controller, who put the Dressage in layman's terms. "It's basically equivalent to the compulsaries in figure skating," Weaver said. "Sort of a cross between gymnastics and ballet that incurs negative points. The least amount of penalties amassed at the end of the three days will be your winner...
...three-hitters. This year, after two seasons as a 20-game winner, Ryan is setting a 30-win pace with eight victories and only two defeats while flourishing a 2.25 ERA. All that on a team of otherwise marginal talent. "The man is unbelievable," says Baltimore Orioles Manager Earl Weaver. "He has the potential to pitch a no-hitter every time...

Before long, Bruce Weaver, 28, was able to talk Princeton University into providing-on "indefinite loan"-a 36-in. mirror for the reflecting telescope. An astronomer at Lick Observatory near San Jose volunteered to design the instrument free of charge, and a Los Angeles metal fabricator has agreed to build it at cost-about $20,000. In all, well-wishers have donated more than $100,000 in free equipment, including two computers, one of which will control the telescope...
