...lived with the media effect for a long time and have made our inner adjustments to it. The trouble is that the left brain reads and the right brain watches television. The TV-watching eye takes in the explosion in Atlanta and the fireball over the ocean and the crater in Oklahoma City, and relays the shocking images to the center of the brain, which by reflex extrapolates a world menaced by terrorists at every intersection...
...about their eyes, not to mention their weapons, made him think arguing would be imprudent. He ran into other people forced to retreat by the armed men--a Boy Scout troop. After the hunter's call, agent Wall drove out to Tonto. Near an abandoned mine, he found a crater almost big enough to swallow a car. It was recent. Someone had been using powerful explosives...

The shock wave blew in windows and pulverized reinforced concrete, creating a blizzard of slashing, crushing projectiles. Windows in several other buildings, some half a mile away, were also shattered. In the midst of the carnage, Guerrero came upon a dazed and wounded man and helped him down seven flights of stairs to an emergency van that had pulled up outside. While many of the hundred or more officers...

Forced into a longer journey, the spacecraft made good use of its time. It shot pictures, calibrated its instruments, conducted scientific observations of Venus and Earth during its flybys and, among other achievements, confirmed the existence of a huge impact crater on the backside of the moon. Passing twice through the asteroid belt, it snapped the first closeup images of the asteroid Gaspra and discovered the first asteroidal moon, a tiny clump (later named Dactyl) orbiting the asteroid Ida. Then in July 1994 it shot pictures of the fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 plunging into Jupiter, capturing images...
