Safely in space, the crew performed a round-the-clock schedule of experiments, including observation of flares on the sun's surface and study of the behavior of liquid helium at zero gravity. Crowed Mission Scientist Eugene Urban: "We have been able to assure ourselves that the science return . . . will be very high." BOSTON Black Chief for an Ailing System...
...time, like 30 sec. in the huddle or 24 sec. to shoot, but a good deal of time, a suspension of time, almost an absence of time. Last week's interruption, blessedly brief, was not a time-out but a time-in. The labor leaders were starting a clock in a timeless place.

But anyway, a season is the minimum span of any meaningful attention to baseball...
...make up for lost time, the crew crammed even more work into their already difficult round-the-clock schedule. An X-ray telescope zoomed in on the distant stellar clusters of Virgo and Centaurus, recording the precise contours of their massive radiation fields. Toward the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum, another telescope, an infrared instrument, mapped the invisible heat of the Milky Way. A small satellite called the plasma diagnostics package was suspended from the ship's giant remote arm to measure "ripples," or the wake that the shuttle causes in the earth's ionosphere. At several points...
...traditional pageantry, mystery and power of Vatican rituals has awed the faithful for centuries. But the convergence of John Paul II's massive popularity with around-the-clock news coverage has created a spectacle that will go down with the ages. Today alone some 600,000 people have filed slowly, step by step, waiting as long as 14 hours, for just a brief glance at the body of the pontiff lying in state in St. Peter's Basilica. Meanwhile, new details are emerging about the elaborate plans for the Pope's funeral and burial on Friday, and even a word...
...last minutes of yesterday’s Harvard women’s lacrosse game against the University of New Hampshire disappeared from the clock a little more quickly than usual. Once the Wildcats (6-5, 1-0 America East) got up on the Crimson (2-8, 0-2 Ivy) by a 10-point margin with 20:57 left, officials let the clock run inexorably towards the end of Harvard’s 15-5 loss...
