...system. The mission will cost just $63 million. But the results may well be historic. If the probe confirms the presence of water ice at the Moon's south pole, the next era of space exploration may be at hand: missions launched from a manned Moon outpost that could drill for its own water and thus be self-sustaining. That would indeed be a pretty big step for mankind...
...what about supervision? The service is so afraid of drill sergeants engaging in sexual improprieties with recruits that the sergeants essentially are under orders to stay away from mixed-gender barracks at night. That, said an Army inspector general's report, opens "a potential window for trainee-trainee sexual misconduct." Indeed, until now the Army's preoccupation had been the behavior of its sergeants, to the point where local commanders at Fort Leonard Wood had ordered the doors to sergeants' offices taken down as well. When the sergeants complained, the doors were put back. But the doorknobs were left...
...independent panel on coed training in the military had been appointed in June by Defense Secretary William Cohen because of the 1996 sex scandal at Maryland's Aberdeen Proving Ground, where drill sergeants preyed on young recruits.

While all the significant others are out buying drill bits, men of America know how to kill the last weekend before Christmas: with NFL football. And while L.I. Slim isn't expecting any tools under the tree, he's still got visions of wildcard teams dancing in his head. The challenge this week: Who still cares about their game?

Which is why they're underdogs on the road against a good Oiler team playing for pride. Guess what...
With thoughts like that, Latrell Sprewell, the Golden State Warriors' leading scorer and biggest hothead, took a short break during practice last Monday to throttle coach P.J. Carlesimo, who had just told him to "put a little mustard on the passes" during a shooting drill. After the two were separated, Sprewell took a 15-minute cooldown in the locker room before heading back to fight through teammates to get to Carlesimo again and yell "I'm going to kill you! You better get me off this team, or that's what I'm going to do." It was the most...
