...painted screen decorated with cheesy '50s icons (tail fins, an "I Like Ike" button) and the omnipresent numerals 1-9-5-7. (That's the year, get it?) Howell Binkley's lighting comes in the same day glo hues, and succeeds most notably when the choreography is silhouetted against bright orange and yellow backlight. The costuming is outrageously gaudy; after the fifth combination of pink and black leather you begin to long for some nice pastels...
Shortly after midnight on Dec. 18, just five days after the shuttle Endeavour returned from the daring mission to repair the Hubble telescope, scientists secretly put the refurbished instrument to its first test. They ordered the Hubble to point toward a bright star and beam its image to Earth.

They can hatch new sounds by sampling the 933 snatches of music in the data base. Did you ever want to play the chorus of a favorite song over and over? You can do it here...
...laughable franchise had a big name coach. From drug problems, to sex scandals, to Victor Kiam dressed as Santa on national television, the Patriots had been characterized by turmoil, instability and ridicule. Now a man with two rings roams the side lines. The future of the Patriots finally looks bright. Let's just hope the team's future is in Boston...
