...advance guard of 41 soldiers from the U.S. Army's Berlin Brigade arrived in the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia to join 700 U.N. peacekeepers keeping an eye on the borders of neighboring Albania and Serbia...
Because space and science are confused in the public's eye, the space station has tainted all of science with its bloated budget. Without it, there would probably be no category of research called "Big Science," with its misleading connotations of power and bureaucracy. Nothing has suffered more from this guilt by association than the giant superconducting supercollider particle accelerator, which has the misfortune to be in Texas, also home of the Johnson Space Center, a major space-station player. Some members of Congress have decided that having both projects is too much of a good thing for the Lone...
...network magazine shows have explored doing a story on Maggie Hadleigh- West, a New York City woman who took a video camera onto the streets to record instances of sexual harassment.

The figures in his paintings are always in the right place, formally speaking. He was a wonderful arranger, with a stringent and finely honed eye for the needs and eccentricities of pictorial composition. But at the same time, his paintings don't suggest much feel for the movement and solidity of the body. His work prefers sociability to sensuality -- a trait shared by his friend Alex Katz. Porter painted few nudes; there are none...
