I.O.A. blends the best of both strategies. In design it virtually out-Disneys Disney, and, on the 360[degree] thrill rides, certainly outdizzies it. I.O.A. is stocked with familiar characters from Zeus to Seuss; with its imaginative attention to detail, the park is jazzy fun just to walk through. Toddlers could spend the day in Seuss Landing, a genial riot of DayGlo colors, where you can drink Moose Juice (turbo tangerine) or Goose Juice (sour green apple). In the Lost Continent area, you pass Magic Rock, which squirts water and speaks, with the droll sarcasm of a bachelor uncle roped...
Each of the five "islands" has its own design appeal. The Lost Continent decor is instant antique: imposing Athenian edifices that seem about to crumble before your eyes. Spider-Man and his Marvel superhero pals inhabit a comic-book-bright boulevard. Toon Lagoon is haunted by old favorites from the rotogravure, like Beetle Bailey and Dagwood.

Finding the Hubble constant was "a driving force" behind the design of the Hubble telescope, and the primary goal of the Hubble telescope mission, said Ed Weiler, NASA associate administrator for space science...
...supposedly top-secret document -- and one that condemns the Clinton administration's inability to keep secrets -- the 700-page Cox report doesn't have many surprises left. Yes, China has stolen the design secrets of no fewer than seven U.S. nuclear warheads from four separate labs; yes, the information was used to dramatically update China's existing arsenal. And yes, the spying began in the 1970s, continued into the Clinton years, and "thefts almost certainly continue to the present." But months of leaks and investigative newspaper stories -- and a 29-page executive summary released Monday night -- have rendered most...
