...Thank you very much for your wellresearched and glowing report on India, spanning its history from before European discovery, through the bloody massacre that broke the country in two, to India's current rise in the space age. The special issue of TIME was a fitting tribute to a nation that is recapturing its long-ago glory. The biggest asset of India has always been its people. Even the emigrants scattered around the world share Indian citizens' patriotism and passion for their country. To live up to the world's expectations and confidence, India must now turn...
Fifty-eight seconds after launch, a fragment of ice or insulating foam once again broke away from the shuttle's external fuel tank and - once again - left a deep divot in the ship's insulating tiles. It was foam damage that killed the shuttle Columbia in February 2003, when superheated gases generated during reentry entered the ship through a breach in the insulation.

On Sunday, a 3D laser imager attached to Endeavour's robotic arm revealed what could...

Banton, a Grammy-nominated artist who broke Bob Marley's record of most number one singles in a year on the Jamaican charts, pledged to "respect" the rights of gays to live without fear of violence...
...classmates. Fascinating as they all were, it was really my friend whom I got to know that day—his cooking skills were a new side to him that I had never seen in high school physics. Even when we lost an eggshell in the pan and broke the yolk trying to fish it out, it didn’t matter. We both laughed...
