...rugged gasoline-powered machines, which also come in four-wheel models, look something like a cross between a motorcycle and a dune buggy. Costing an average of $2,000, they can cruise up to 50 m.p.h. and negotiate some of the toughest terrain around, from sand dunes and rock-strewn hills to marshy lowlands. They are also exceedingly dangerous. Nearly 7,000 people are injured in ATV accidents each month, and an estimated 900 people have been killed over the past five years. Many of the victims are young children, who do not need a license to drive ATVs because...
...countless occasions the Government has ordered defective autos and trucks recalled. But last week the Justice Department, backed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, went a long step beyond that.

Bud does it with long hours and pit-bull doggedness, Tom with his boyish, passive charisma. Both men might tell you that ideals are as passe as peace marches and that the happening disease, the one everyone wants...
...Green should take a lesson from its partner on the color wheel. Last year, Bowling Green came to Cambridge for the NCAA quarterfinals with a busload of big guys. The Falcons tried their best to lower the speed limit at Bright--oh, say down to 25 miles an hour--but couldn't enforce it. The Crimson went about 75 miles per hour and the Falcons barely scraped 20, as Harvard buzzed...
