...Nobel Peace Prize with a plan to end the violent political struggles that have long plagued Central America. But his five-month-old blueprint, far from halting the region's civil wars, had not even kept the combatants at the bargaining table. "The will for peace does not exist right now," conceded Arias before meeting last week with the four other Central American Presidents who had originally endorsed his plan in Guatemala City.

Most scientists regard the fact that he stumbled over the reddish sources of light within a randomly chosen tiny section of sky as evidence that the galaxies actually exist. Reason: similar bodies "should be all over the place," as Elston puts it, in our galaxy- filled universe. Moreover, Elston and his team took a second look at the suspected galaxies without the aid of the infrared device and found them about 20 times fainter in ordinary, visible light. The difference in brightness...

In Iowa, 45% of Republicans judge the economy "fairly bad or very bad," vs. 38% of G.O.P. voters nationwide. Democrats are even more doubtful about the economy: 73% of the Iowans are downbeat, vs. 60% of Democrats at large. Most Iowans, like Americans generally, support increased federal spending on education, care for the elderly, cleanup of the environment and help for the homeless. Similarly, majorities in both parties say they are willing...
