Both Titania and Oberon, each some 1,000 miles in diameter, have huge, distinctive features. Voyager spotted a three-mile-high mountain on Oberon and a valley running all the way across the visible surface of Titania. On the moon Ariel, 730 miles across, three linear patterns seemed to resemble the tracks left by terrestrial glaciers. Only Umbriel, 740 miles in diameter and covered with overlapping meteorite craters but with few other features, seems to have been largely unaffected by Uranian gravity--for reasons scientists cannot explain...

But until now Lewis has avoided public criticism of Sharon, currently Minister of Industry and Trade in Israel's coalition government. As he prepared to leave for home last week after eight years as ambassador, Lewis recalled for Israeli television a December 1981 meeting between Sharon and Philip Habib, then the U.S. special envoy in the Middle East. The session was held six months before the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Sharon, said Lewis, outlined plans...
