Before there was Waco, there was Ruby Ridge. As an episode in the annals of right-wing panic, the 1992 shoot-out and siege at the Idaho cabin of white separatist Randy Weaver ranks second only to the inferno of the Branch Davidians the following year. Federal agents in body armor and black ninja uniforms, armored cars crashing up hillsides, even the fabled helicopters of militia nightmares-Ruby Ridge had all the elements of a paranoid fantasy, with the difference that it was stamped in real flesh and blood. In the 11-day standoff, Weaver's wife was shot dead...
...family of white separatist Randy Weaver was awarded a $3.1 million settlement by the Justice Department. Three years ago, Weaver's wife and 14-year-old son were killed by U.S. agents in a bloody standoff at his Ruby Ridge cabin in northern Idaho. Weaver-who is something of a hero to the militia movement-was accused of killing an agent in the shootout...

(A submersible is simply a small, mobile undersea vessel used for science...
...Control are efficient and almost faceless, a Greek chorus busily computing solutions. The astronauts' wives, notably Marilyn Lovell (lustrous Kathleen Quinlan), cope sensibly with despair. Lovell's partners in jeopardy (Bill Paxton as Haise, Kevin Bacon as Swigert) keep things cool, especially when they nearly freeze in their icy cabin. And Hanks provides the anchor. His Lovell--as strong, faithful and emotionally straightforward as Forrest Gump--carries the story like a precious oxygen backpack. His resourcefulness gives Lovell strength; his gift for conveying worry gives the film its humanity and a purchase on ordinary-Joe heroism...
George Washington had his cherry tree, Abe Lincoln his log cabin and Newt Gingrich -- according toa new inspirational tract available at bookstores everywhere-- had French inflation. The House Speaker's controversial book, "To Renew America," which went on sale today, is full of revelations, says TIME Daily's Robertson Barrett. Among them: When Newt's military dad was stationed in France, sky-high French inflation taught a 13-year-old Gingrich that "when a government cheats its own people by inflating the currency rather than facing tough political decisions, it is inviting trouble." On the return trip to America...
