When he "got too chatty with somebody, usually someone with a large chest, a couple of the older women would see she got moved," says the aide. That...
...madman? A hypocrite? A messed-up guy chained to his one gift? In his brave, alert performance, Duvall typically doesn't try to reconcile, or even explain, the discrepancy between E.F.'s life-defining faith and his death-defying sociopathy.

Later in the day during your exam, perhaps you begin examining ordinary objects as if they were quite extraordinary, noticing with...
Currently, the best defense pilots have against such sky skids is an alert by other pilots up ahead who have just traversed a pool of unsteady air. But NASA and private industry may soon have a better way: they are designing a sort of infrared radar that would let planes scan the sky for agitated particles in the air characteristic of CAT. NASA plans to test the device next spring but does not know when it will be operational. In the meantime, the FAA is improving the pilot reporting system by equipping planes with software that measures even mild turbulence...
