...suspected carcinogens as PBB, PCB and DDT. Working with EPA, the company in 1982 agreed to spend $38.5 million to clean up the area. At the golf course, all soil was removed to a depth of 3 ft. below any signs of contamination. That involved hauling 68,204 cu. yds. of dirt away. Fully l.25 million gal. of contaminated groundwater were pumped into a 3,400-ft. well lined with two cement walls. EPA considers the golf course cleaned up, as indeed it seems to be. In one sense, however, the problem was merely transported across the river. All that...
Offensively, third-year Coach Maxie Baughan will look to quarterback Shawn Maguire (43-for-88, 366 yds., one TD, three interceptions) and running back John Tagliaferri (38 carries, 149 yds...

(It fell 200 yds. short, rattling the windows and more than a few delegates.) The security chiefs' greatest fear this time around is that Libyan Strongman Muammar Gaddafi and Cuban President Fidel Castro, both of whom are expected to attend, will arrive at the U.N. on the same...
Terrington shut down both engines and slammed on the brakes. The jet, trailing a stream of smoke, fishtailed to a halt two-thirds of the way down the runway on a taxiway, just 200 yds. from the fire station. By the time the call from the emergency control tower came in at 7:13 a.m., firemen were loading into five fire-fighting vehicles equipped with foam. They reached the burning craft within...
