...France, a reprocessing plant at Cap de la Hague, near Cherbourg, stores its nuclear waste in giant steel tanks. But the tanks leak. The storage area has reached three times the acceptable levels of radiation. Traces of plutonium are being found along the Normandy coast, and crabs in the area have begun to show ulcerous sores...
...months since their arrival on Mars snapping pictures of the Red Planet. The latest batch includes the best and most revealing shots yet. Among the pictures released by NASA: a photomosaic of the planet's north pole, showing a concentric pattern of striations in the ice cap; a color snapshot showing newly formed frost on the ground near the feet of the dust-covered Viking 2 lander; and a photo proving that something-wind, a tremor, a frost heave-has caused a portion of the Martian surface to slump since it was photographed last October.

The "Say Hey Kid" got round to admitting that the fine, carefree way he used to run out from under his baseball cap when steaming around the bases was partly the result of calculation. Said Mays with a grin: "I always wore a cap a size too small." When the on-field action started, it turned out that the American League's ill luck hadn't turned either. The Nationals...
