...that it can also be lethal because of radiation exposure in deep space, where the absence of Earth's magnetic field leaves astronauts far more exposed to deadly cosmic energy than they are in orbit or on the way to the moon. Some kind of shielding is obviously necessary--anathema to space designers, who like to keep hardware light, but unavoidable all the same. (On the surface of Mars, tanks of water or even dirt berms could serve the same protective purpose.) The best way to limit the radiation dose on the way to Mars is simply to limit...
...Underline them, capitalize them, insert them in the top, “Illustrate;” “Be specific;” etc.? They mean it. The illustrations, of course, need not be singularly relevant; but they must be there. If Vague Generalities are anathema, sparkling chips of concrete scattered throughout your bluebook will have you up for sainthood. Or at least Dean’s List. Name at least the titles of every other book Hume wrote; don’t just say Medieval cathedrals, name nine. Think up a few specific examples...

The Shiites, backed by even their most moderate and U.S.-friendly clergy, insist that that the constitution-making body be elected by Iraqis - a proposal anathema to the Sunni and Kurdish representatives. And so on. Iraq was traditionally governed by an iron fist from Baghdad; simply putting its fractious components together again requires the forging of a new political consensus that could be years in the making...
...Long anathema for the Democrats, it’s bizarre that in a party stronghold vouchers would have gained such support. A Washington Post poll in 1998, following President Clinton’s veto of D.C. vouchers, found that 65 percent of African-Americans with incomes under $50,000 favored vouchers, and that 56 percent of D.C. residents as a whole wanted them...
