...astonishing abundance. At a meeting of the American Astronomical Society held in Phoenix, Arizona, a team of scientists reported that the dark equivalent of 20 trillion suns lies hidden in a small group of galaxies located millions of light-years from earth. They based their calculation on the recent detection by the Rosat X-ray satellite of a cloud of hot gas that suffuses a seemingly empty region between two of the galaxies. The gas molecules are moving at such high velocities, explains Richard Mushotzky of NASA'S Goddard Space Flight Center, that a "cloud like this would have dissipated...
Still, there is an irresistible urge to detect a master plan amid the riddled texture of transition. Chalk it up to Clinton's honeymoon period, that halcyon interlude when disorder masquerades under the name of guile. But as long as there is no punishment for the natural human urge to share a secret by leaking, the Clinton selection process will continue to provide a new twist to the concept of open government...

Leonato's daughter, Hero (Janine Poreba), who keeps a low profile throughout the play, blossoms in the wedding scene. Her maidenly blush and swoon are entirely convincing. The audience can detect a difference in her after her trauma: the demure lass has aged into a deeper, more mature character...
...ARCO's research center in Plano, Texas. "It's been a truly eye- opening experience that has made us interpret some of the cores we bring up in a completely different manner." Because of the link between oil and caves, ARCO is starting to use remote-imaging technology to detect the presence of underground caverns. "My guess is that we will be able to find significant amounts of oil and gas this way," says Handford...
...epidemiologists Maria Feychting and Anders Ahlbom of Stockholm's Karolinska Institute, looked at everyone who lived within 300 m (328 yd.) of a high-tension line in Sweden from 1960 to '85. Although the investigators could find no evidence of an increased cancer threat for adults, they did detect a higher risk of leukemia in children. The second study, led by Birgitta Floderus of Sweden's National Institute of Occupational Health, linked on-the-job exposure to electromagnetic fields and leukemia in workingmen...
