Supporting this incredible confession, Bush's aides have described a period of "reality therapy" for the President. "Frankly," says one, "he didn't understand the deficit until after the election. The sessions have been real eye-openers and have shown him how crucial a budget strategy is to everything else he wants to accomplish." Transition co-director Craig Fuller, who was Bush's vice-presidential chief of staff, agrees that the President has but recently delved deep into the budget. Bush is only now fully aware of the difficulties facing his "flexible freeze," says Fuller, especially if interest rates...

One catch: to get the 3-D effect, there has to be constant motion on the screen. So even if the game slows to a crawl, the halftime action will be fast and furious...
...hope to find answers to a variety of astronomical questions from studying these stellar explosions, observable supernovae do not occur very often. In fact, 1987 was the first time since 1604 that Earth dwellers witnessed an actual explosion close enough to the Earth to be seen with the naked eye, Kirshner said, thus making the event the first young supernova to be carefully analyzed with modern scientific equipment. Astronomers, including Kirshner, are still collecting data from the phenomenon, called 1987A...
