...dune buggy-size Spirit and Opportunity are the third in NASA's family of Mars rovers, descendants of the 2-ft.-long Sojourner craft, which arrived on Mars in the summer of 1997. Like its bigger siblings, Sojourner came with only a very brief factory warranty - just 30 days in its case - and like its bigger siblings, easily exceeded it, operating for five months before finally surrendering to the Martian elements. It's rarely a good idea to take NASA's estimates of the lifespan of its ships too literally. The agency tends to lowball these calls, making it more...
...Crimson (6-6) struggled from the start to contain the much taller and bigger Tribe (5-6) squad. The team was outrebounded 49-26, outscored in the paint 30-14, and outplayed by a much larger lineup...
...ever matchup between the two oldest universities in the country, Harvard could not rise to the occasion, dropping a tough road tilt to William and Mary, 67-54, on New Year’s Eve. The Crimson (6-6) struggled from the start to contain the much taller and bigger Tribe (5-6) squad. The team was outrebounded 49-26, outscored in the paint 30-14, and outplayed by a much larger lineup. Returning from mononucleosis, which had sidelined him since the Dec. 10 game against Northeastern, freshman Keith Wright fought hard in front of his family and friends...
...being measured. The 1883 eruption of Indonesia's Krakatoa led to a global cooling and the deadly winter of 1886-87 that wiped out the short-lived open-range cattle bonanza of Montana Territory. In 2000, Ken Wohletz, a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, postulated that an even bigger Krakatoa eruption in 6th century A.D. may have sent a tall plume of vaporized seawater into the atmosphere, causing the formation of stratospheric ice clouds with superfine hydrovolcanic ash, which literally cast a pall over much of the world at the beginning of what became known as the Dark Ages...
...conscience. And I'm very troubled by the attitude of Israelis against Israeli Arabs. It's a shame. It's a black hole in my democracy. But I say sometimes that I'm too close to the reality; I don't have the perspective; I don't have the bigger picture. But if enough of my kids and enough of my youth will go to volunteer, be it in Darfur or be it Rwanda, or be it in the squatter camps of South Africa, they will sharpen their sensitivities. And they will come back and say, listen...
