...behind his eyes and tugs at the corners of his mouth. He gives an understated smile and not the Kansas yuk that helped sink the Ford-Dole ticket in 1976. He joked so much then that people did not think he was serious, as if anyone scorched by the Dust Bowl and shattered by an explosive shell in the Italian mountains in World War II could be truly frivolous...
...comet will still be 40 million miles away. Halley's may appear to stretch the length of the Big Dipper but probably will not be as bright. Scientists cannot predict the luminosity because each time the comet whips past the sun, it sheds varying amounts of the ice and dust that form its glowing tail.

Will a military tribunal be more vindictive than civilian justice? Can any circumstances mitigate...

In the shadow of the International Trade Center, at 54 stories China's tallest building, are mounds of dirt coughed up by the excavation. Construction cranes scratch the sky, the air is full of dust, and the noise is worthy of a Grateful Dead concert...
