THIS summer, August brings cooler weather, but the race/leadership problem has not gone away. In a summer when Spike Lee urges audiences to "Do the Right Thing," no one is seriously asking what happens when Black leaders do the wrong thing...
...have some great memories of my first year:our wine cooler' and cheez whiz party whichevolved into a pineapple fight that nearlydestroyed our room; Duke singing "Hey Jude" infalsetto in time with his walkman, unaware thatothers could hear him; the Mets winning the WorldSeries over the Red Sox; Ben participating in hisfirst-ever snowball fight...
Some 93 million miles away, the sun was, at the very least, agitated. In early March, an area of sunspots large enough to contain 70 earth-size planets had come into view around the eastern rim* of the glowing orb. Created by intense magnetic fields and cooler than the surrounding gases, the sunspots were visible as dark blemishes on the fiery surface. Just as astronomers were turning their attention to the mottled region, a bright spot suddenly appeared in its midst. It spread like a prairie wildfire, glowing white hot on the sun's yellow face and quickly expanding...
...intense solar observations should provide clues to many of the still unanswered or only partly resolved questions about the sun: Does the solar cycle affect terrestrial weather? What internal mechanisms control the cycle? Is the sun growing cooler? Hotter? Is there a basic flaw in the current theory about the fusion process that powers the solar furnace...
...same time, hot gases, being lighter, rise from the interior to the surface, while cooler, heavier gases descend -- a process called convection (similar to what occurs in a hot oven). As a result of these massive convection currents and the differing rates of solar rotation, the magnetic lines of force begin wrapping around the sun like ropes. The wrapping action stretches the ropes and creates magnetic fields so strong that they repel the surrounding solar gases. In effect, this makes the magnetic regions lighter than the gases, and they begin to rise. Some reach the surface and become sunspots, dark...
