...data, including temperatures, composition, density and distribution of the atmosphere. They will be passing through hostile territory. At higher altitudes the probes will be whipped by winds with velocities that may be as high as 360 km (220 miles) an hour. They will drop through clouds thought to consist of sulfuric acid droplets. But their real test will come near the planet's surface, where temperatures reach 480° C (900° F) and the atmospheric pressure is nearly 100 times that of earth's at sea level...
...difficult to determine and open to bitter dispute. One of the most widely accepted estimates has been made by Economist Murray Weidenbaum, head of the Center for the Study of American Business at Washington University. He divides the costs into two categories. The first is administrative costs, which consist of visible federal spending on regulatory agencies.

The first ten minutes of the show consist of Alice running onstage, falling asleep and not moving during the overture and a less-than-thrilling reading of "Jabberwocky." After so slow-paced a start it was difficult to warm to Alice's long monologue and even longer first song. Through the show, the pace would slow down to a veritable crawl between the larger chorus numbers...
