...captain of the U.S. marathon team in the 1936 Olympics and a special friend of Jesse Owens'. On the boat going to Germany, Jesse said to me, "I want to go up to the deck and exercise, but I don't have any shoes." So I said, "I don't think my shoes will fit you." But that didn't stop him. He tried to get a shoe on, but his foot was so large, it broke my shoe right in half. He apologized, and I got it sewed up. It cost me 50¢, and I got a souvenir...
...didn't occur to me that the missile flying over Camp Iwo Jima in the northern Kuwaiti desert might not be friendly. I'm a doctor, a medical correspondent, not a bang-bang journalist. But I noticed all the Marines around me were hitting the deck. Five seconds later, the alarm "Bunker! Bunker! Bunker!" blared over the P.A. system. Over the next 20 hours, I would share with 70 Marines and two CNN colleagues the same space and the same occupation: target...
...ending about 11 min. before the ship was destroyed--shows the astronauts just where they ought to have been that late in the mission, with commander Rick Husband, pilot William McCool and crew members Laurel Clark and Kalpana Chawla strapped into their seats on the main flight deck.

When the tape begins, Chawla and Clark are finishing their suiting up, while Husband and McCool are busy flying the ship...
...will suck the life out of a pair of AA batteries in just a couple of weeks of regular play (or 18 hours nonstop), so the rechargeable batteries, which last about 10 hours, could mean big cost savings. But the SP's smaller size, not much bigger than a deck of cards, makes the SP easier to hide in pockets or under pillows. With the new backlight--long overdue--kids will surely spend even more quality time lost in virtual combat. Vigilant parents may need to do a few spot checks to make sure Junior isn't sneaking SP under...
...U.S.S. Constellation, the ordinance department has been stocking up the Joint Direct Attack Munitions, the gray 'smart bombs' that operate with GSM locators to find their exact target. Red vested youngsters bring them up from storage and leave them lying casually on one side of the flight deck, an area they call the 'bomb farm'. From there they are loaded onto fighters. Plus, there are the dumb green bombs that just make a hole in the ground and the smarter laser guided missiles. All of them have numbers and yellow stripes around the snout to show that they contain live...
