...Journal of the American Medical Association, he didn't get mad. He started talking to 60 Minutes. That alarmed the A.M.A. even more than its original gripe with Lundberg--his decision to publish a study on oral sex just as the impeachment trial was starting--and the board quickly began negotiations to rehire...
Each 377-ft. sub will feature highly sophisticated wake suppressors and pollution controls to mask its presence. A videocam system will replace the traditional optical periscope, making for more acute reconnaissance at night and in bad weather. Each vessel will have its own on-board computer network, packing more cyber-power into its 7,700 tons than the 65 attack subs that came before it put together. Eventually, the Navy plans to outfit the subs with "antitorpedo" torpedoes, which the Navy has fantasized about for decades...
...murky mission for today's sub fleet has affected morale on board the nation's fleet of 65 attack subs, which is slated to be reduced to 50 in 2003. Young officers who dreamed of chasing Soviet subs around the globe can't figure out what they are supposed to do. "A concise submarine-force mission statement would help junior officers understand why they are at sea," a Navy lieutenant writes in Proceedings.

Its Defense Science Board recently urged the Navy to begin planning the next-next-generation attack submarine--one that will be better and bigger than the U.S.S. Virginia. America's attack-submarine force is "a unique 'crown jewel' for the United States," said the board. Unmentioned was the fact that the real crown jewels, those...
White bulbs on a hot baby-blue background: the message board in the St. Louis Trans World Dome scrolls WELCOME TO THE EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION WITH HIS HOLINESS JOHN PAUL II. The Dome's 70,000 capacity is stretched to 100,000. Betty and Ed, after hours on a chartered yellow school bus and in line for metal detectors, have drawn spectacular second-row seats: they can almost touch the stream of priests flowing across the floor toward the great papal seal. A jumbo screen shows the approaching Popemobile, just half an hour away. She twists a silver ring again...
