...bouncer is my weekend nemesis, and not a popular man among college students in general. For good reason. We fear that, despite our crafty fake IDs, he will not admit us unto the sacred tavern at which we have decided to try our luck. Seniors, of course, are above such immature fears; they are beyond the drinking...
Freedman is the first to admit her team's age figures could be off 20% in either direction. The reason: no one knows whether M100 lies inside the Virgo cluster or whether it is more in the foreground or background. Astronomers have to check out other galaxies in the area before they are sure that M100 fairly measures the distance of the cluster as a whole. They're also checking galaxies outside Virgo, and while Freedman won't say what they have found so far, she told TIME that the results are "consistent" with the preliminary figures...
...accommodate Freedman's age estimates. The same cannot be said for Lauer and Postman's detection of large-scale motions across the universe. Most scientists are betting that their observation is just plain wrong, but they haven't yet been able to pinpoint why. And both Lauer and Postman admit that the effect may wash out as they collect more data from deeper in space...
Japanese cable executives admit theirs is still a risky business. Because of the high cost of installation, service is expensive--$40 a month for the average household--and no one expects that cable TV on its own will be a big draw, despite clever new features such as a karaoke station.

They'll say, `You want me to buy a service that gets...
...place where only spies, hackers and child molesters live. Editors are also discovering that the information highway is a two-way street: no matter what they print about gun control, for example, a flood of angry E-mail is almost sure to follow. While few editors will admit to being influenced by such online pressure (unless, of course, it points out an error), most journalists are likely to take the complaints into account in future stories -- and there's nothing wrong with that. A healthy dialogue with readers can be productive, but it also tests some of the rules...
