...Striking as the Hubble images are, there is one thing they couldn?t reveal. The telescope?s giant eye can see lunar objects no smaller than 60 yards across. Somewhere in Taurus-Littrow and Hadley-Apennine are the comparatively tiny, truck-sized descent stages of the Apollo lunar modules, left behind when the crews blasted off. Neither of those metal relics has been seen in the more than 30 years since human beings last walked on the moon. Only if the U.S. actually commits itself to its new lunar plans will they be seen again any time soon...
...Brett Favre, who soon replaced incumbent Dan Majkowski. Favre has since replaced Bart Starr in the hearts of many Packer fans as he has driven the team first to respectability, then possibility and now probability.

"Don't let 'em pull a razoo on you," he said, using the local slang for cheating at marbles. A day after dining on hickory-grilled rib-eye steak and praline bread pudding with Allen and President George W. Bush in the French Quarter, Nagin managed to salvage a potentially deflating photo op last week. The Rev. Jesse Jackson had arrived with a bus convoy of what was supposed to be 200 New Orleans evacuees returning home...
...past four or so years, been overtaken by a host of new practices: wheat-pasted posters, adhesive stickers with oddball images on them, elaborately stenciled images and even three-dimensional objects.
