...saviors. But the rest acted like spouses or suitors. Says Park Dietz, a forensic psychiatrist in Newport Beach, Calif., who directed the project: "If you didn't know who the two people were, you would think it was a normal love letter." About 15% of the writers tried to approach the stars personally, usually at their homes...
...absence of any mercy, the absence of any humanity in his approach to the people, the masses, to anyone who did not follow him precisely. If anyone deviated the least little bit from him, like the Mensheviks, for example, he turned on them, he reviled them, he used every term of imprecation against them. He hated them. Even without using the word "evil" in a broad, metaphysical sense, you can still apply this word to Lenin in its everyday meaning...
Moreover, points out Eugene Cernan, who walked on the moon in 1972, with such a long-range goal "we can then work backward and take the steps to get us there." That would eliminate the let's-build-it-and-see-what-it's-good-for approach. Far from withering, other space initiatives would be lifted by the rising tide of national interest and funding. Unmanned probes to the planets would continue, and NASA would still be able to launch the Mission to Planet Earth, a series of satellites designed to study the planet's environment and give scientists...
...most reasonable date for a Mars mission is 2020. That allows plenty of time for a measured approach and spreads the expenditure over a sensible period. It also gives NASA ample opportunity to choose the next goal after Mars -- exploration of the asteroid belt, for example, or a manned trip to the outer planets. Robot probes would have to study the Red Planet in depth first. One, the Mars Observer, is scheduled for a 1992 launch, and others would have to follow...
Many experts think that is unlikely. Richter bet on a new approach to accelerator design, sending the positrons and electrons down a two-mile-long straight track, then spinning them out in opposing semicircles before colliding them. The CERN machine is more conventional and thus more likely to work from the start. The positrons and electrons in the LEP are made to circle repeatedly in opposite directions through the tunnel, with new particles added periodically to the stream. In a given period of time, the LEP is expected to produce hundreds of times as many Z 0s as the Stanford...
