Floating around in space isn't as relaxing as it might sound. Astronauts expend a lot of energy and endure extreme stresses on their bodies. Their dietary requirements are therefore different from those of their gravity-bound counterparts on Earth. For example, they need extra calcium to compensate for bone loss. (Bones tend to regenerate slower in space, and the loss of mass begins almost immediately after takeoff). A low-sodium diet helps slow the process, but according to Kloeris, that's easier said than done. "There are no refrigerators in space, and salt is often used to help preserve...

The Apollo 11 astronauts actually ate four meals on the moon's surface; their resulting waste is still in the lunar module they left behind.

Jackson was the most famous entertainer on earth; his sudden death was real news, huge news. His memorial 12 days later was a mammoth, global event.

There were the prime-time specials, the morning-show reports, the commentators and endless clichés. (He was a barrier breaker, a chameleon, a Peter...
Director Robert Ruggiero keeps his staging within Lerner’s outlines, which set designer Michael Schweikardt fills with color. To this portrait, costume designer Alejo Vietti adds a dab of earth tones. The men stride in fur-lined, verdant coats; the women frolic in pastel, summer dresses. But Vietti achieves his greatest efficacy in his simplest combinations. When Guenevere meets Arthur in a wintry forest, she dons a white cloak, highlighting her long red hair. The contrast accentuates Guenevere’s fiery passion—the reason that men find her irresistible...
...Being French and highly influenced by the soixante-huitards wave of pseudo revolution, I was astonished by the convergence of earth-shaking changes that took place in 1989. It has taken me 20 years to realize how flawed 1968 really was and how strong, true and long-lasting 1989 will be in our history books. Many thanks for such a landmark issue.
