...Americans have managed to create a Catch-22: someone smart enough to be President isn't dumb enough to run for the office." RICHARD H. FAWCETT Uncasville, Connecticut...
...alive. In Minnesota the lakes are freezing over in late November, and some men who envision a leadership role for themselves take their snowmobiles out onto the thin ice and fall through and drown in the cold water--their last thought in this life: "Boy, was this dumb or what?"--and so far I have not been one of them.

The telescope simply wouldn't focus properly--the result, it turned out, of a light-gathering mirror that had been ground with exquisite precision, but in the wrong shape. After a lengthy investigation, the disaster was laid to a simple, dumb mistake: a technician had assembled a device that guided the mirror-grinding process with one bolt put on backward. The hobbled Hubble could still do some important science, but much of its research program appeared headed out the window. "I'd been working on this for almost two decades," says...
