...Home cooking. That could be the recipe for Canada's Alpine skiers, who haven't medaled since 1994 but who came agonizingly close in Torino. Olympic rookies Erik Guay, Kelly VanderBeek and Francois Bourque settled for fourth; Genevieve Simard was fifth. Guay, 24, skied on a gimpy knee and missed bronze by 0.1 sec. in the super-G. "Fourth place is the worst," he said. "I'll be thinking about that one-tenth of a second for the next four years." So will VanderBeek, 23, who missed the Ladies' super-G podium...

The night took a sinister turn when seven drunk Delphicians knocked on the pair’s door. Vanderbeek snuck out through their fire door to the next suite and wandered into Claverly. But he wasn’t safe for long, and had to sprint down four flights of Claverly steps, hop over another flight, and leapt into the Claverly security guard?...
...beneath Wyoming, Idaho and northeastern Utah-a resource larger than the proven reserves on Alaska's North Slope. By 1982 Natural Gas Pipeline Co. of America will have finished an oil pipeline from Wyoming to Nebraska.
