...People in some of the houses couldn't even get us." Beth A. Kopley '81, president and found drive chairman for the station, said. "An elevator shaft in Holyoke Center got in the way of our signals. With our added power we'll be able to get through that," she added...
...meter race, Speed Skater Beth Heiden, 20, had reason for hope as she flashed across the finish line in 2:13.10. She had just broken the Olympic record by 3.48 sec. The trouble: 17 other skaters also were to break the record. Beth ended up in seventh place as Annie Borchink, 28, a sturdy Dutch nursing student, glided off with the gold in a time of 2:10.95.

Compared with the downhill, with its extravagant relationship between gravity and a sort of exhibitionist will, speed skating seems tame to Americans, an exercise grindingly precise, an icy, athletic watchmaking.

Worse, the first racer out on the course has to set her own pace. Still, these were all minor annoyances compared to the fact that she had sprained her ankle the previous weekend. Oddly...
...head," they are usually told before being shuttled off to psychologists and psychiatrists. Now comes a report in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association urging doctors to take a closer look at the patient's physical condition. Endocrinologist Richard Spark of Boston's Beth Israel Hospital writes that the problem in many cases is medical, not mental. Using sensitive radioimmunoassay techniques that can pick up infinitesimal levels of hormones in the blood, Dr. Spark and his team studied 105 impotent men, aged 18 to 75. They found that 35% of the men had previously...
