...refurbished in 1993. The orbiting observatory's nearly 2.5-m (8-ft.) mirror isn't all that powerful, but since it floats above Earth's constantly roiling atmosphere, the Hubble has been unrivaled in the sharpness of its images. No more. Using an ingenious technological trick to eliminate atmospheric blur, most of the new telescopes will soon achieve Hubble-quality focus--and even beat it under the right conditions...
...bring it all together this week with a special issue on The Choice. Even though both Bush and Gore tried at times to blur their differences, we believe there are important distinctions, which Michael and Nancy explore. It's illustrated by a series of special photographs by Christopher Morris. Karen and Jay sum up another aspect of the candidates: how they are as managers and what that would mean if they were in the Oval Office.

Then, as Queen blares over a CD player, three groups interlock hands and hurl three tiny teammates 30 ft. into the air.

And Koetsu's calligraphies on sheets of paper pasted together, paper made in the subtlest imaginable tints and textures, a salmon pink abutting the most delicate smoky blue, display a sensibility that seems an etherealized version of Georges Braque...
