...lives in an extraordinary situation." That may indeed be true. But if for any reason Soyuz does not make it into orbit, NASA will not be entirely unprepared.

Connelly, who is unemployed and once ran for Boston City Council, has been in court since mid-October, when he was the only one in the gallery during hearings on defense motions. He makes the pregnant pronouncement that he is responsible for Edelin's presence in the dock, but he will not elaborate. A large man with red hair and a great round cheese of a face.
