...truly disappointing character is Lisa Claudy's Nicole. Claudy looks like she belongs on the cover of a fashion magazine. Unfortunately, she fails to do much more justice to her character, even if one takes into account the script's peculiar lack of lines for Nicole. The lines Claudy has she delivers flatly, with hardly a trace of the storm that must brew inside a woman having a passionate affair with her younger brother...

...have been an impossible chore for Boston's Irish pols, there was an easier way. The British, ironically provided the excuse. Redcoats occupied Boston from the start of the revolution until the Americans, head quartered on Cambridge Common, were able to starve them out. The British left under cover of darkness the morning of March 17, 1776. So remember, when you see the cloud of green that envelops Southie as the great day approaches, it's George Washington, not St. Paddy, that the Kellys and Flynns are toasting with stout...

...most curious of all these major moons is the innermost, lo (pronounced eye-oh). Roughly the size of the earth's own moon, it has reddish polar caps, a yellowish sodium cloud cover and a strange surface chemistry that may be a consequence of intense radiation bombardment. On its closest approach, Voyager will come within 18,800 km (11,650 miles) of this mysterious moon. Then, as Voyager sweeps away, its instruments will get glimpses of the other Jovian moons, perhaps even a tiny 14th moon, which was spotted several years...

North America's last solar eclipse of the century (right) was obscured by a cold gray cloud cover along much of the path of totality. But eclipse buffs near Roundup, Mont, (left), and other viewing areas in the U.S. Northwest and Canada were luckier. Armed with telescopes, cameras and other paraphernalia, they let out joyful whoops under mostly clear skies as the moon's shadow raced toward northern Greenland.
