...them in community-policing programs. Republicans want to send that money instead in bloc grants to states to use as they see fit. Last month the President vetoed the appropriations bill that would have distributed his police money that way. "I don't tell all these folks how to deploy the police," said Clinton, "or what they should do all day. All I say is there has to be a community-policing strategy because that's by definition grass-roots reform, and we know that it works...
...Galileo goes into orbit, a probe that it will have released 147 days earlier will plunge into the upper Jovian atmosphere at 106,000 m.p.h., its heat shield glowing. Two minutes later, after friction has slowed its descent, the probe will deploy a parachute at around 400 m.p.h. and drift downward, sniffing at gases, measuring temperatures and pressures, observing cloud structures and lightning and transmitting data back to its mother ship. Finally, about an hour into its descent, the probe will be vaporized by the steadily increasing temperatures it encounters below the dense clouds. Its fate, says a NASA official...
Along the way, however, Galileo suffered a serious setback. In 1991, when J.P.L. controllers attempted to deploy the spacecraft's main, 16-ft.-wide, umbrella-like antenna--which had been tucked away during the Venus encounter to protect it from solar radiation--three of the antenna's 18 ribs got stuck. Despite more than 13 months of ingenious and increasingly desperate measures to shake these ribs loose, the antenna, which had been capable of transmitting 134,400 digital bits per second (or a complete image in about a minute), remains unusable...
...Administration is hoping for a vote on the Bosnian deployment in the House and Senate next week. No matter what Congress decides, the military schedules begin to click forward. NATO's governing body, the North Atlantic Council, was expected to approve the operational plan for I-FOR this week and then issue the order to deploy what is called the enabling force, an advance communications-and-logistics team of about 1,000 soldiers, around 200 of them American. NATO would then start sending in the main I-FOR the day after the peace is signed in Paris. NATO's southern...
...came to power in 1982, although he has since toned down his views and is a firm supporter." Because Spain is not part of the military structure of the Alliance, some member nations also had misgivings about Solana's appointment to a crucial leadership position as NATO prepares to deploy 60,000 troops in the Balkans...
