...spacewalkers. Thornton, a nuclear physicist and mother of five, went on the 1992 mission that repaired the Intelsat communications satellite. On that flight, the 5-ft. 4-in. K.T., as the other astronauts call her, wasn't involved in wrestling the three-ton satellite into the shuttle's payload bay. (It eventually took three men to do that job.) This time, though, she will play a key role: installing the Hubble's corrective lenses.

She had time to grab only one item other than a billfold. "See, this is what I took," she says, opening up a shirt box from Neiman Marcus. Inside there are miniature flags, first-day stamp covers, letters...
...thousand or so Americans still in Haiti. "We know that," says an adviser to Francois, "and that's why our No. 1 priority is to protect the Americans here." The military is concentrating now on its Haitian solution to sideline Aristide permanently while keeping U.S. troops at bay.
