...doubleheaders. Atlanta boasts what it calls the "world's largest calliope" and Chief Noc-a-Homa, a full-blooded Indian who does a war dance on the mound before each game. There is an endless variety of "Days": Bat Day, Ball Day, Helmet Day, T Shirt Day, Poster Day, Cushion Day, Sunglasses Day, Hot Pants Day, Wild West Day, Honor America Day, Latin America Day, A-Students Day, Plattsburgh Day. The day has also come when the baggy woolen uniforms of old are giving over to the pajama-like stretch-nylon duds worn by the Pittsburgh Pirates. In Oakland, Vida...
...Cushion of Air. One successful ferry will hardly make a dent in the traffic jams caused by the 100,000 autos that now use the Golden Gate Bridge daily, 31,000 at rush hours alone. By 1980, the rush-hour figure should be 47,000. Thus imaginative district officials are now planning to siphon off more bridge commuters with four ferries that are larger (750 passengers) and more luxurious (two bars). Later this summer they will also begin trial runs with a giant 60-passenger air-cushion vehicle, which will skim across the Bay in just 15 minutes. But District...
...link a new and distant parking area to its sprawling terminal, Chicago's O'Hare International Airport may install moving sidewalks. One Dallas parking lot is already connected to the terminal by Braniff's "Fastpark Jetrail," a passenger-carrying monorail. Los Angeles is planning an air-cushion vehicle route that by 1973 will link L.A. International Airport and a huge parking space 16 miles away, at the juncture of the San Diego and Ventura freeways. By 1980, air-cushion vehicles will connect Los Angeles with the 18,000-acre airport complex scheduled to be built at Palmdale...
...slanted cushion called the Trim Twist Exercise Jogger ($9.95) forces runners' knees up, and supposedly provides the equivalent of one mile of jogging in only six minutes of use. The Indoor Jogger ($134) keeps the old legs going on alternately rising and falling platforms, while the Treadmill ($235), a rubber mat on rollers with sidebar support, actually records the footage covered, if not inches lost. Gyrogym's Smartbel ($59.50), a 2-lb. dumbbell "with a mind of its own," generates surprisingly strong gyroscopic forces that cause the user to exert himself just as much as he would with...
...Crimson provided starting pitcher Phil Collins with a three-run cushion in the first inning as McDugan singled off Army's Bill Lord. DeMichele followed with the first of his doubles, scoring McGugan. Varney then singled to bring DeMichele home, scoring himself only moments later on Pete Bernhard's base...
