...public domain they were cumbersome, unreliable and just plain ugly. Even Zack Morris, the king of schoolboy cool was subject to carrying one of those bulky, box-like contraptions around Bayside High. Despite their countless flaws and unattractive facades these phones where the envy of every "Saved by the Bell" fan, and pretty much everyone else. Essentially, cells were the pinnacle of chic...
Thought you couldn't get excited about that ship anymore? Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry will prove you wrong. It packs a powerful punch into 25,000 sq. ft.--including artifacts (china, Champagne bottles, the captain's bell, a twisted chandelier), replicas (staterooms, the cargo hold and the grand staircase) and even part of the hull.

There is concern in the Pentagon and elsewhere in the U.S. government that sending the more costly and complicated Blackhawks will require Colombia to divert drug-fighting dollars to their maintenance or--more likely--force the U.S. to pick up the tab.
