...woman's hand slides into view across a sheet. A man's hand appears and clasps its wrist. Then his fingers languidly caress a knee, a shoulder, an elbow, a torso. And all in the clear, shadowless light of an operating room. At last the fragments of anatomy grow heads: Charlotte and Robert. They are lovers, and as they get dressed, they communicate in cool, laconic monotones, like intergalactic messages across the light years...
Minnesota Twins Manager Sam Mele felt pretty much like that great Peanuts Pitcher-Manager Charlie Brown after a hard day on the mound. Outfielder Bob Allison was playing with a hairline fracture of the right wrist. Outfielder Tony Oliva was nursing a chipped knuckle in his right hand. Catcher Earl Battey had a strained back. Worse still, Ace Pitcher Camilo Pascual had to go to the hospital for surgery on torn muscles in his right arm pit. And then, last week -good grief!

Pennell was rushed to North Carolina Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem. Packed in ice, the hand rode...
...engine is lighter, quieter and longer-lasting (350,000 miles v. 250,000) than conventional diesels, but fuel bills are costlier. Among its many innovations: "dial steering" by which a driver guides his truck with two small wheels mounted on a panel in front of him, similar to the "wrist-twist" system now being tested by Mercury. Chrysler Corp. is field-testing turbine cars but is undecided whether to market them...
