...said. Black, polished, stripped, Kenny's 500cc bike didn't look very special, though. "I had it set up by a guy from Cincinnati down for the big races here in March. You just take all the cylinders and parts and balance them to the thousandth of an inch...
...tubes sewn inside). Having the tubes sewn inside makes them a real pain to patch, but there is no other way of making a tire as light (often less than 200 grams per tire) or as strong (racers ride with tire pressures well over 100 pounds per square inch), or as easy to change. While a bicycle like this is designed for racing, the truly dedicated tourist may also insist on one. In the past few years, with the vast increase in the number of tourists (and in particular, rich tourists insisting that they need the very best), the demand...

Embree is just an inch shy of the 7 ft. mark, and Vanderpool-Wallace will have to fly eight inches longer to break a longstanding Harvard mark of 25 ft. 3 in. in the long jump...
This computerized efficiency extends to the cattle themselves.

More important than genetics are the skillful methods used to turn every calf into a 1,100-lb., slightly blocky steer that will yield USDA Choice Grade Beef. The object is to remove as many variables from the beef-raising process as possible and replace them with more stable techniques copied from the assembly line...

The old lady was at least as respected as fate, so course setter Howard Kelton bypassed the dropoff which led to the NCAA accident last year, but there was no ice to worry the racers this time anyway. The old lady teased everyone with a fabulous 8-inch snowfall of white powder two days before the Carnival, then come race day she decided to wash it all down with a downpour and the racers mucked through a surface that most resembled a colorless Slurpee...
