Blix insists that all he does is "give an accurate description of the reality that I see." The decision on whether Iraq is in material breach of Security Council resolutions, he says, is a matter for the Council itself. But after an hour-long interview with Blix late last week, a group of TIME editors came away with the impression that he was a lot more skeptical of Iraqi behavior than has been assumed and that he could imagine Saddam Hussein exhausting the patience even of those countries that presently want to give the inspectors more time. The Iraqis, Blix...

...plasma is indeed responsible, it couldn't have done it alone. It needed to make its way through an existing breach in Columbia's aluminum skin. How could that coat have been punctured? There are still only theories, but here is what we do know: new temperature records reveal that the heat in the left wheel well began to increase when the shuttle was still over the Pacific, heading for California. That suggests the ship sustained damage in orbit, but began to feel the effects only when the temperature rose during re-entry. "In a large number of cases," says...
...Blair and Italy's Silvio Berlusconi have pressed Washington to seek a second UN resolution before going to war. Unable to secure passage of a resolution authorizing the use of force right now, the U.S. and Britain have opted instead for a resolution that simply finds Iraq in "material breach" of Resolution 1441 - based in part on Dr. Blix's Feb. 14 report back to the Security Council - and notes that Baghdad has "failed to take the final opportunity" for peaceful disarmament.
