...downed Japanese midget submarine just outside Pearl Harbor. The sunken sub appears to corroborate a long-held theory that the U.S., not the Japanese, fired the first shot in the Pacific war. The submarine is believed to have gone down just hours before the Japanese began their surprise aerial attack. Let's just hope this new information doesn?t mean we have to watch a remake of "Pearl Harbor...
...Pediatrics in the '90s. Inaugurated as an Olympic event at the 2000 Games in Sydney, the activity appears once again to be on an upswing.

"It is truly the most beautiful photo ever taken," says Yann Arthus-Bertrand, 56, a French aerial photographer who for the past 10 years has been snapping shots of the planet from slightly closer range. He has taken more than 100,000 pictures of the earth in the past decade alone, capturing the stunning patterns and characteristics of the natural and manmade worlds.
