AFTER a month of false starts and wheel spinning, the McGovern campaign bandwagon is definitely on the move-backward. A new TIME poll conducted by Daniel Yankelovich Inc. between Aug. 25 and Sept. 12 shows that McGovern's campaign is having a negative effect: in several states where he has stumped the hardest, he has lost ground; and the issues he has emphasized the most are those that are now hurting him more than ever. The poll finds that Nixon leads McGovern by an astonishing 39 points...
Dancer Isadora Duncan died as dramatically as she lived, when her long scarf became caught in the wheel of a moving car and strangled her. A one-in-a-million fluke? Not quite. Flowing neckwear has been in style recently, and according to an article in the A.M.A. Journal, so have freakish-and often fatal-injuries. In one of eleven cases studied, a teen-age girl suffered severe facial cuts and bruises when her scarf snagged in the wheel of her boy friend's motorcycle. An eleven-year-old boy whose scarf caught in the engine of his snowmobile...

Most chains can be with a bolt-cutter and even if a ten-pound motorcycle chain securely attaches the front wheel to a root thieves will often settle for the rear wheel as frame. One of the authors of this article had hi Raleigh stolen while writing the place, in fact...
Coattails. The Wankel revolution has been expected for years, chiefly because of the rotary engine's elegant simplicity. Instead of converting up-and-down piston motion into wheel-driving circular energy through a series of complex linkages-the way a standard engine works-the Wankel rotors spin continuously and thus provide the proper torque to move a car's wheels directly. Rotary engines are smaller, peppier and potentially cheaper to build than conventional reciprocating models, and have only six major points of wear, v. 100 in a conventional engine. The most persistent bug, ever since Inventor Felix Wankel...
They later went bowling in Philadelphia and tooled around the Catskill Mountains, with Fischer at the wheel of Hillenbrand's car, to help Fischer sharpen his driving skills. When Fischer went to Buenos Aires last September to compete against Tigran Petrosian, Hillenbrand was there, and the two went restaurant-hopping between matches. "I finally found that if I put away the notebook," says Hillenbrand, "Bobby would drop his guard and reveal an extraordinarily friendly, human side...
