...said that all stories have two sides. In the best stories, the two sides are inseparable. Pull them apart, and it makes the whole thing meaningless. "[The expedition] has that mixed quality of great news for one people and bad news for another group of people," says Patricia Limerick, who chairs the board of the Center of the American West at the University of Colorado in Boulder. "It is not the greatest news," she says, "to have a party of agents of empire come through...
...gate concourses are connected by a train system that is fast and convenient-except when it's not working (which lately has not been very often and usually for only short periods). Unlike the terminals at Atlanta's Hartsfield, which has a similar layout, Denver's are so far apart-to give the planes more space to taxi-that passengers cannot walk between terminals even if they want to. This means that in the event of a major breakdown (like the seven-hour interruption in 1998 on what is now referred to as Black Sunday), passengers can be stranded...
...extremely sensitive to temperature changes; ice crystals can easily rupture cell walls, and the solutions used to preserve the egg sometimes wind up destroying it instead.

...matters. "You're playing with fire there," says Harvey Cox, professor of divinity at Harvard. "I'd be awfully cautious about this alliance if I were on the Israeli side." The reason is that once you move into End Times theology, the interests of the two groups split apart. According to prophecy, the Jews must be in control of Israel for Jesus to return. But in the last battle, two-thirds of the Jews perish, and the rest either accept Jesus as the true Messiah or they must be damned, literally. "In my view, any theology that continues to deny...
